Bobwhite Quail
Grower House Plan

Cross-Section View

    Notes:
  1. This floor plan is offered only as a suggestion for house and pen size. It is not intended to be complete in all details.
  2. You may choose to place doors on the outside wall of the pens to aid in loading and unloading litter material and birds. If so, you may choose to reduce the 8-feet wide hallway to 6- or 4-feet in width. The entire house width must be reduced by the same amount.
  3. Using two 15,000 or 20,000 BTU brooders affords safety against a brooder going out and leaving the birds without heat. If you choose to use only one brooder, use one with about 30,000 BTU of output.
  4. Insulate roof and end walls with insulation having an R-factor of 11.
