I started reading about chickens to understand better my quails because I couldn't find relevant articles in greek, and even though are different birds, this and other articles like this, guide me on what to pay attention to. I am so sorry I can't have chickens like my grandmother. Thank you.

Thank you for reading the article.
I can't believe quail are that much different in behaviour to chickens.

So interesting. If you keep your birds at the balcony in cardboard boxes with sand and wood savings as a nest, with no garden, would a luffa sponge buried in a pot with grass allowed to grow on it, could be used as a base ground? Or their nails will be tangled?

I have no idea. It's worth a try. Proper soil is very hard to beat.

Amazing information. Do you now by any chance if those observations apply to quails too? I am trying to make my favourite quail hen trust me again. I made one tribe out of two and separated the old rooster because he would not mate any more. Shall I put her back with him although he was occasionally aggressive even to her? She hates the new one.

Thank you for reading the article.
I've never kept quail. I would if I could find a family line that had proven broody hens. Such lines do exist.
I tend to go in exactly the opposite direction and split at evey oppertunity. Here, I've found three hens to one rooster the best ratio and I like roosters so the more tribes the better.
I like to keep the pensioners with their tribe until they die.
