What animal could use this?

[Cassandragrenr]

So I've recently found this dog kennel (picture isn't mine) and I think it's pretty big and maybe could be used for other birds? I'm thinking maybe a trio of Japanese quails or just a brooding area for birds? If anyone comes up with what I can use this for I'd really appreciate it!!

You could put anything in there, but you would gave to cover at least the bottom portion of chain link with hardware cloth because small predators like skunks, small raccoons, small opossums, etc can squeeze through. If using for quail, I think you would need to cover the whole thing.

Do you have any suggestions besides 'anything? I really can't make decisions myself haha, and I think I found something better for quails!

How big is it?

You would have to do a lot of work to completely enclose this off. Birds of any kind are very vulnerable to pretty much all predators....raccoons, skunks, snakes, hawks, weasels, coyotes, even rats can hurt birds. If this were mine, I would cover it top to bottom with hardware cloth, bury railroad ties and set this on top of it to keep things from digging under. You could possibly keep rabbits in this space, possibly a few quail.

Nice!

A little smaller than my outdoor brooder, but walk-in.

You could use it as a coop for up to 6 chickens.

Meat chickens. Cover bottom half with HC and top with netting. 6-8 weeks later, chicken dinner for the winter.

Would be a great hospital coop, brooder, or separation space for chickens. I agree with @TwoCrows, cover the entire thing in HC, and either bury wire or some heavy duty wood posts.

Could be very useful, nice find. Aside from covering with hardware cloth I could see it getting covered with wood to enclose part of it if you wanted that - such as fence boards or free pallet slats wired to the metal structure
