Can you run electricity through the wire fencing? You would have to gather your quail and hold them separated before you wired the cage.
Hey man your still in good shape .. you can outrun a Quail .
I had rats kill 40 of my quail last weak ate ther guts out i got to rid them some how cost me in 300 bucks in livestock
i have a friend that hunts rats with mink.
youtube joseph carter the minkman.
not feasable for you.
poison is the only way iv found t totally eliminate them.
and even thats only temporary.
the peanut butter bucket is a good thing.but even it wont get them all.
rats are smart.once you catch one..theyll avoid the bucket.
the cool thing about the mink.they go down in the hole and kill them all.
you have alot of australian mates hunt ferrets.
pen the quail up and turn loose the ferrets
Can I eat my quail eggs if they're rats going in and out of the pen
Use rubber table cloth to cother the roof or tar sheet the roof
Hi Mark, as far as the rats and mice getting under the hills in your corrugated roofing goes, I noticed that you are just using straight 2 x 2' to screw your roofing to using the valley's in the roofing. Do you have available to you, at your hardware stores, a product often called "wooden closure strips", also known as "wiggle molding"? They are wooden strips of which one side is flat and the other side is scrolled like the corrugated roofing. You nail the strip down, across your trusses, then screw the corrugated roofing down to that strip on the hills of the roofing with a special screw or nail that has a rubber washer on it which prevents the hole from leaking water when it rains. I believe that rats would just chew through the foam if you squirt it in but it would take a lot more for them to chew through the wood to get up under the corrugated roofing hills. You may have already found the answer to your issue, since this was posted a very long time ago, but since I didn't see anyone else suggest this, I thought I'd post it anyway.
Add a padlock to your cage.
No one can open it after you change the numbers to 0.
Not even humans.
I place rat trap on the rooftops of my quail hut and 3days later I caught it .
Glad you found him, and great catch!Beautiful species of hawks you have there Mark!
My wife and I love your show
Wow, can't believe you caught it out of thin air !!!
Rodents don't hate quale, they merely see them as a food source. We don't hate cows or carrots, but we still kill and eat both.
great catch!!!, and you are lucky only one managed to fly the coop ( temporarily)
Expanding foam. Can shove newspaper into the gap to reduce the amount you need. I've grown grass in a pen under wire. Suspend it an inch above so the birds cant scratch. They love picking the green shoots
Dynamite inside a quail or an exploding mechanical quail. Electrify the fence briefly, that should be fun. Plenty "o" volts !
Great video, great catch and that hawk was beautiful. Much more attractive than the predatory birds in England / UK.
Thanks alot.
Dang nice snag Mark!
Awesome that you got it on camera.
You have the instincts of a hawk, amazing!
If you keep the roof clear of leaves and it's sunny. They will bake from the heat. That may help. Maybe extent a bit of wire over the edge of the roof from the sidewalls. Locking them out, and then just bend it over the top in the gaps?
Not a waste of time. It's an alternative food source. They love to eat grass so why not give them some
" Glad to be home," now you will eat him … He is so lucky …
How does this guy have so many subs but barely any likes like cmon like I was number 363
Good catch buddy.
I just have an idea, maybe grow poisonous mushrooms around the property so the rats would eat it by mistake and become delirious and fall to easy prey?
That was so cool!
I swear that roo said g’day back to you Mark
Awesome catch indeed !!
You need to place exterior bait station rodent devices next to the pen. Use a good rodenticide and you’ll be good, trust me.
Congratulations glad you got him
