At Lost Creek Farms we raise quail for training purposes for our French Braques and as a way to repopulate quail at our farm.
They start out in a heated brooder box for 4 weeks. We start out with 225 birds that are a day old. At 4 weeks they move to the flight pen which was constructed using a green house frame. They stay in the flight pen for 4 to several months. They move to the johnny house a little at a time. The green house will hold 200-300 birds. The johnny house will hold 20-30 birds. These are out in the field where we do dog training. We currently have 1 flight pen and constructing our second, and 3 johnny houses.
