Hatching
Good evening!
I am purchasing quail next week and had a quick question. I constructed a 6ftx2ft enclosure for my quail. It is a hybrid between a tractor and a standalone (like a tractor, but about 6 inches from the ground and they will be on wire/dirt bath/etc.)
Anyway, I am wanting to have a comfortable amount in there. Could I do 2 males and 10 females? Do I need to split it in half and do 2 sets of 1:5 ratio? I'd prefer not to do this as I have roofing on one half, and openness on the other. Could I do 1 male to 8-10 female? What are the downsides?
I want to thank anyone/everyone in advance for the help. I truly appreciate it.
