    Great, I was in the understanding (but i'm a starter if it comes to quail) that i NEEDED males to keep the females from fighting. This saves me a lot of small cages to make! I indeed just want them for meat and eggs. I was thinking about 42 quail p/36 Square feet. What is approximately .86...

    10X10 coop, how many chickens does that comfortably hold?

    I Kinda dont understand the calculation: 1 person says a chicken need 10 SQUARE feet per bird, another (see above makes the calculation of 10x10/4 = 25 chickens?
