    Cage question for quail

    I am making my first quail hutch and I have each cage set up with an indoor side and an outdoor side. I wonder how big does the hole have to be for the quail to go through? I want jumbo quail.

    Roosters or not?

    I was thinking f getting two or four more hens f they lay enough. I get plenty of eggs from my other hens so don't need one egg a day but the yard got earn their keep. Love their personality and passive behavior. They come up to you even as babies.
