This grouping of pens held Button quail, Bob White quail, a pair of Golden pheasants and a pair of French Red-legs. A long lower pen stretches along the back, behind the taller section seen above. The lower box to the left of the taller flight is covered in plastic for winter warmth. The lower section along the back has lots of ground cover and evergreen growth.

Two views of the "wintering box", this is covered in plastic and stuffed in straw for a greenhouse effect during the colds of winter. Even Diamonds have been seen ducking down into this box for the warmth.

I thought the watering tube shown above was rather interesting. This allowed for the daily watering without opening a door or disturbing the birds. The tube is rigid and allowed for a strong enough stream from a hose to provide some clean out to the container. The door was opened and the container removed for better cleaning as needed.

Some of the Silver Button quail in the long lower pen. They had pleanty of room to roam freely and scrounge about. I was told they often incubated their own eggs in this flight.

Other quail in this complex are the Bob Whites seen above. They loved darting in and out of the evergreens and brush.
