Why Choose the Hatching Time 5-Tier Quail Layer Cage?

Before diving into the build, let’s talk about why this cage is a solid investment:

✅ Space-Saving Design – Five tiers maximize vertical space, allowing you to keep more quail in a smaller footprint.
✅ Automatic Egg Rolling System – Eggs roll safely to the front, preventing breakage.
✅ Dropping Collection System – Each level has a slanted floor and removable trays for easy waste management.
✅ Durability & Ventilation – Made of heavy-duty plastic, this cage resists rust, is easy to clean, and allows good airflow.

Unboxing & Prepping for Assembly

🔧 Tools Needed:

• Rubber mallet and Power Screwdriver(highly recommended)
• Gloves (optional but helpful)
• Flat surface for assembly

Inside the box, you’ll find:
✔️ Cage panels (floor, sides, and back)
✔️ Feeding and watering systems
✔️ Egg collection trays
✔️ Droppings trays
✔️ Connectors and hardware

Pro Tips for a Smooth Build

💡 Use a rubber mallet – Some pieces require firm pressure to snap together. A few light taps will help.
💡 Start from the bottom – Building upwards makes alignment easier.
💡 Check each tier’s stability – Ensure each level is locked in before moving to the next.
💡 Pre-test the watering system – Fill the tank before adding quail to confirm water flow.

The Hatching Time 5-Tier Quail Layer Cage is a fantastic addition to any quail-raising operation. It provides easy maintenance, optimal space usage, and improved egg collection. With a little patience and careful assembly, you’ll have a functional, durable, and highly efficient cage ready for your birds.
