Game Bird Grower House Plan


Shown below are the basic plans for building a Bobwhite Grower House for housing up to 8,000 quail between 7- and 14-weeks of age. This design complements the brooder house plan for facilities that house birds through the first six-weeks of age. Click on each diagram for an enlarged view and additional details.

The diagrams can be printed from this web page or enlarged versions can be printed from the downloaded graphics files. The files can also be enlarged, viewed and printed using a graphic editing program.

Grower House Floor Plan

Brooder House Cross Section


This basic plan can is only a guide into which many of the features of the brooder house can be integrated. These features are not shown in this plan but can be found in the accompanying plan. Brooders are shown as a safety precaution during cooler seasons of the year when the younger birds may need extra warmth. The construction details explain the brooder, ventilation, and house construction details in more depth.

Additional assistance or a printed copy of this plan can be obtained by contacting Mississippi State University; Poultry Science Department; Box 9665; Mississippi State, MS 39762 or by e-mail at poultry@dept.msstate.edu.
