The question I have is:
Can I socialize...

I want to start raising quail for our freezer. I searched high and low for informative websites and publications on raising quail. So far I have ordered 2 books Keeping Quail and Raising Game Birds: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-93.

I am designing and building a coop/run for my meaties out of pallets
Do I need to incorporate a roost for meat birds? Most of the meats bird housing photos I have seen on-line look to short to have a place for a roost?

I am interested in buying a bantam rooster for my gals.
I have 6 standard hens, all different breeds that are about 5 months old (only one has started laying - so far).
Here is a pic of five of the ladies he'll be loving and protecting...
My ladies don't sit on my lap or shoulder but...
When choosing my breeds the SLW was always my favorite. At treat time Dumplin my SLW pullet sticks around the longest and fusses at me to give her a few extra meal worms.
