hey quail raisers of byc!
I am going to get some smokey bobwhites soon hopefully and i would keep them in a cage. How big does the cage need to be for 1 male and 3 hens? Our shed is about 14' long. We are going to fix up our shed so i can use it for raising my gamebirds. I will be buying a light thing for heating in winter, so they can lay their eggs and the bator will be in there also. Also, i only keep my coturnix on wire, but in winter i am going to put them in cages in shed, how big should the cages be for 4 coturnix?

thanks for your help!

Wish I had enough space to be keeping Bobs. I only have enough space for a couple of small cages unfortunately

I don't think that would be very fair to them. Thanks so much for the picture

for pairs only QGF breeder pens are fine any more then pairs and bigger is better 2H X 3'W X 7"D Is a good start then however many you put in this watch them closely IF they are brooded together they do pretty good but if you mix a bunch together they WILL establish a pecking order and sometimes this is not pretty

I have a friend that keeps 2 cockbirds and 5 hens in this size pen and he does pretty good with this setup but his bird are brooded together
