I am raising Coturnix for meat and eggs. Should I raise them on ground or wire? All suggestions and advice are welcomed. Much thanks!
 
I think it depends on what's best for you. I have both a coup and an aviary on the ground. The quail in the aviary have much more entertainment. Bugs to chase dirt to dig in and Sun to bask in. They literally never go into the coup. I think it makes for happier birds
