    Now that my Coturnix have hit six weeks of age, I'm assuming you can get them off the hi-proteins. So what protein do you feed them for their egg production?

    Quail and Dogs

    Hi all, do you see any problems with raising Quail in a flight run and having Golden Retrievers in the area. I'm curious about cross diseases or how the quail might react to something sniffing around now and then out of curiosity. The dogs might get a nose by the cage, but they will never be...
