tom123 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 What do all you guys use?? I need something new as my old run is being used. Photos please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) I had them in a tank until a few weeks old then something I made which was in the laundry room (tiled) so we could just mop it, (with the quail in it) then in the side passage so they could run around there and then into the eglu Not much help if you want to keep them in a run though The bantams were in a rabbit run and hutch which worked quite well Edited December 27, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Two things, first they go in an old rat cage of mine, it's massive. http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/rodents/cages/rat_cage/13280. My electric hen fits in there nicely. Then after a few weeks they move out to the garage where I have a rabbit run similar to this but about five foot long http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RABBIT-RUN_W0QQitemZ280441649918QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Pet_Supplies_Small_Animals?hash=item414b9ffafe with a heat lamp. I prefer my electric hen but as the lighting is so poor in there they benefit from the extra light from the lamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I use a massive indoor guinea pig cage after the initial storage crate. It works very well. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I use this until the chicks are old enough to go up to the stable When they go to the stable they are split in to pairs in rabbit hutches Next year when I am hatching more I will have to think again though as the rabbit cage is a bit cramped for more than five I am working on hubby to let me use the shed where we can rig up electric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Thanks guys Well I have got a broody coop with a 6ft long run and 2ft house. I was thinking I will shut the coop door until they are about 3-4 weeks old and then when they are off heat they can go in the run outside. This is only until the Spring as we have a 6x3 shed which we are going to convert Thanks again, much appreciated Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I used this for the first ten days and then moved them into a very large indoor guinea pig cage. Edited to add that they're not dead, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
