I've read tons of posts on whether or not quail and chickens can live together. I agree with the group of NO people. However, I do want to ask what is the distance limit to the rule?
The new chicken coop I am building is essentially a sealed room in my detached garage with a hole in the wall to the outside run. Still working on ventilation. I would like to move my quail from my enclosed back porch/stairway into the garage if possible. Will this present a problem, even with the chickens not using the garage as a living space per-se? As I am planning, the only air exchange between the chickens and garage space will happen when I open up the doors to the nest areas and door to clean the floor/maintenance. Would this be too risky if the quail pen is within say 10ft? If so, being that the chickens have their run in the backyard, would housing the quail outside be too risky as well? FYI - this is a small 25x125 city property.
