I have always wanted to have chickens since i was 7 years old, but in the neighborhood I live in, the HOA doesn’t allow them, or any poultry :hit However, I’ve recently been looking into quail and how they are quiet and perfect for urban farming. I only want to hatch 2. Is it possible to keep...
The quail are going to be for watching and for eggs. Rats are my main concern though. I plan on only getting a few quail and all females. I really need ideas for predator proofing it, do you have any advice? I also plan on putting them in a dog crate at night, and putting there food inside to...

Ok thanks for the Info, so how should I ask my hoa if Quail are allowed in my neighborhood? Like I said, I have already asked the hoa president about chickens, but I don't want to ask him again since he might get annoyed
Are quail considered poultry? I live in a neighborhood that has an hoa that doesn't allow poultry, and I was wondering if Quail count. I have already asked the hoa president about having chickens just to make sure, and he said No
