Oh, I can talk you back out of quail, too. They're super cute, especially as tiny babies, but they grow up in 9-12 weeks and then you have to deal with teenage quail...and quail scalp each other.
Yes, you read that right. No, I don't mean like "they pick each other bald", though some do. I mean "bloody horrific wounds." I mean "oh my God, do I need to put this poor animal out of its misery????" And...usually no, they heal up just fine. But let me tell you, it's stressful orz
Also no, quail and chickens don't get on. The size difference, but more seriously chickens can carry illnesses that kill quail.
