Built our on quail coop when we bought our home. Had started with 50 quail, but somehow a cat got into the coop at night and tore apart most of them and the rest disappeared. We were only able to get one of our quail back. Love em, and thinking about getting some more later on. Edit: What I would do for your flighty quail is trim their flight feathers and the females do need holes to hide away from any males, since males will continuously chase them to mate.

you might consider growing some greens in planters placing them around the center portion of the enclosure, it will break up line of sight and even create cover as well as free greens for the quail to nibble on to keep them healthy. not sure of your growing zone fountain grass would create a nice hiding place as well. containers could be built reasonable and your son may enjoy the building of them. Using wood and sheets dipped in slightly soupy cement mixture, using the left over cement mixture to make slightly thicker cement with in the planter, place over the grow frames, let dry then fill with dirt and plant may have to make a temp cage over them until the plants grow enough the quail wont just eat the seeds. Awesome build the best part is teaching your son new skills. turned out lovely.

My quail would sit on those red cups and would cause constant water flow and would drain the tanks and make insane messes. I placed the red cups just outside a fenced cover so only their heads could reach in, they couldn't sit on them. I tried the nipple feeders but too many problems with those. For my feeder I use PVC piping 3 or 4" with 1-1.5" holes to access the feed. It's sloped and connected to a 90 with up pipe as the fill and storage. Also use lowest protein possible for layers and lower for your males or nonlayers you will butcher, that reduces the odor, reduces flies and reduces overheating on any possible hot days. 16-22% protein. I used a combo of chick starter 18-20% crumbles with gamebird 24-30% crumbles to a ratio that would give me the desired protein level. For my breeders and layers 22% seemed ideal for my birds, no feather pecking, calm, low odor so hardly any flies. Calcium only needs to be around 1.8-2% for layers. My coturnix LOVED cuttlebones!! They devoured them! Also millet like they sell for parakeets. Mine didn't care about greens or any other fresh foods. (I'm in desert so you probably don't have anything like my hot days.) Also I set out multiple deep- sided 6" and covered dust baths with Sweet PDZ crumbles - they sell as stall fresher. They would lay their eggs in their and some hens would "own" a dust bath and exclusively lay in that specific dust bath - so I had a ratio of 1 dust bath for every 2-4 hens. Some hens would sleep together and share dust baths. It made collecting eggs very quick and the eggs were clean. I used fine mesh colander to pour the PDZ through weekly to remove the poops and reused the PDZ. The PDZ really helped keep the odor down and kept it dry. I rotated males between female groups and only kept the calm friendly ones and developed larger eggs and birds. It seemed the Italian and Amber Autumn colors were the calmest, friendliest, quietest in my mix of colors. LOVE Coturnix, was raising them for eggs, meat and feeding my dogs. Also sold the wings to folks training raptors and bird dogs. 120 eggs incubated every week, staggered hatches in 3 incubators.

You need to provide a barrier for rats who will burrow under your coop and knaw through the plywood floor. Perhaps adding 1/2 inch hardware cloth on the floor or burying hadware cloth vertically to a. Depth of 18" around the perimeter of the coop would help.
