Valley Quail in the backyard

The links Doggus has posted are some of the better pictures you'd find when searching the internet.

As far as I can tell, for good detailed plans, you have to pay for them at a place like lcsupply.com.

A Johnny house could work for Coturnix. I have not tried it. It depends on the ability of the birds to call each other and covey up. Coturnix are not a native species here in the US and have not tended to covey up when released into the wild, but I don't know if they have been commonly used with Johnny houses.  

Bobwhites seem to be popular for Johnny houses because that is what people hunt in the wild and on game farms.

Doggus,

Was your entire quail tractor built out of milk crates or was that just the shelter? I had assumed the latter but wanted to make sure.  

And do you have any pictures of your quail tractor?

I found plans for a recall pen.  They are at the Auburn Wildlife resourse site.

I can't remember the web address but will hunt it.

pocketsierra:
Sounds good. Let me know when you find the link.
