# Plans Build Quail Breeding Cages

Breeding quails can be a rewarding and profitable endeavor, and constructing your own breeding cages can be a great way to save money and customize the cages to your specific needs. Here are some plans for building quail breeding cages: #### Materials: * 1/2-inch PVC pipe (10 feet) * 1/2-inch PVC connectors (4 T-connectors, 4 L-connectors, 4 end caps) * 1/4-inch hardware cloth (2 feet by 4 feet) * Zip ties * Wire cutters * Pliers * Measuring tape #### Instructions: 1.

Cut the PVC Pipe:

- Cut four 2-foot lengths of PVC pipe. - Cut four 1-foot lengths of PVC pipe. 2.

Assemble the Frame:

- Connect the four 2-foot lengths of PVC pipe with the T-connectors to form a square. - Connect the four 1-foot lengths of PVC pipe to the L-connectors to form four legs for the cage. - Attach the legs to the corners of the square frame using the L-connectors. 3.

Attach the Hardware Cloth:

- Cut the hardware cloth to the desired size for the cage. - Attach the hardware cloth to the PVC frame using zip ties. - Make sure the hardware cloth is securely attached and there are no gaps. 4.

Add the End Caps:

- Attach the end caps to the ends of the PVC pipes to prevent the quails from escaping. 5.

Install the Feeders and Waterers:

- Install feeders and waterers inside the cage. - Make sure the feeders and waterers are securely attached and are easily accessible to the quails. 6.

Add Bedding:

- Add a layer of bedding material, such as wood shavings or straw, to the bottom of the cage. - The bedding material will help to absorb moisture and keep the cage clean. 7.

Introduce the Quails:

- Once the cage is complete, you can introduce the quails. - Start with a small number of quails and gradually increase the number as the quails become accustomed to their new home. #### Tips: * You can customize the size of the cage to accommodate the number of quails you plan to breed. * You can also add additional features to the cage, such as a nesting box or a perch. * Make sure to keep the cage clean and free of debris. * Provide the quails with a healthy diet and plenty of fresh water.
