When I first got into quail, I did what any sane person would do:
I ordered the birds before I had anywhere to put them.
So naturally, my husband and I spent two straight nights building a 7x3 pen under the dim porch light, racing against the post office delivery date like it was a game show. Sorry for the noise, neighbors.
We got it done in two days. The hens only had to live inside for a day or two.
I liked the pen—until I realized I designed it completely wrong and now have to crawl inside like a raccoon just to collect eggs.
These days, I send my 6 and 4-year-old in. THEY thinks it’s fun.
Anyway, that setup didn’t last long because of course I needed more quail.
So I built an aviary. Game changer.
If you’re just getting started, here’s what I’d tell you:
✅ Don’t wait until the last second
✅ Don’t build something you have to crawl into
✅ Start with something simple—but build it to grow
But honestly, if you're collecting eggs on hands and knees right now... solidarity. You’re not alone.
