Is Your Quail Flock Outgrowing the 50lb Feed Bags?
When raising quail and getting all the proper knowledge needed for incubating, brooding, grow out and picking the right breeders. You will find that your flock can grow quite rapidly.
Your quail feeding needs will make the 50 lb bags of food no longer economical. You will have to start thinking of buying quail feed by the ton. So how will you store tons of food for your quail.
Obviously you are going to need a feed storage bin for your quail raising farm. These can be easily purchased brand new in different shapes, sizes and made from different materials. They also can be a little on the expensive side.
You could also think of building your own. Here is a link to a pdf from a web site that provides plans on how to construct a feed storage bin for your raising quail farm: http://www.public.iastate.edu/~mwps_dis/mwps_web/plans/73217.pdf
If you are handy or know someone who is good with tools, these plans could save you a lot of money. But if you can afford to purchase a feed storage bin, I would obviously recommend doing so. If you can't afford to purchase one or don't want to invest that type of money in your quail raising farm. Then check out that link and the plans for building your own feed storage bin.
