Hello members,
newbie here, though I have been a long time reader.
As a science project we just recently hatched 5 Japanese quails, and I am planning to keep them.
I spent the last couple of days looking for a coop that will meet all my needs. Off-ground nesting area, run, easy access, can lock up the quails if needed and it also has to be appealing to the eye and look good in our landscaping. On some of the coops the ramps to the second floor looked awfully steep, so I googled quails and ramps... and cam to find that most quails apparently don't use the ramp? That completely throws me off now, because I would much prefer a 2 level coop. How is your experience with that? How if I put rubber on the ramp?
So far my chicks have been extremely playful, and I have built them a quail playground where they run, jump and climb like crazy. It is hard for me to believe that they won't walk up and down a ramp.
