Forced molt?
For the past 4 years I have used artificial light for an extra 3 hours or so after darkness for my chickens. Just started breeding quail last summer so they have been using artificial light since then. Starting this summer I’m going to stop using light however since I have used it for so long...- MegTheHenEggQueen

R seems to be frightened and tends to find a cozy corner to sit in. The male (P) and other female (B) don’t... -

House / Pet Quail !?
I happened upon an instagram page featuring a friendly tame house quail. (@fathetfarms) Looking at types of quail online, I figured out that it is a Mearns / Montezuma quail. I've become fascinated with the idea of a tame pet quail, but I'm wondering if this is actually something that is doable...- AlishaAmani

Encouraging Laying Quail…
Ideally... in my mind's eye In small spaces; Free roam/greenhouse/etc....... Aviary/ Runs/ Pens/ Hutch/Nesting box; safe place to lay an egg away from Roo’s area coverage ( a dark spot to hide) Rollout cage: forced conditions and no choice to lay in place Give the Roo’s a time of separation...- FatherFalcon

Best Quail Cages
I have looked at cages from Wylona Ranch and Hatching Time cages. I know that neither is rat-proofproof due to the egg rollout. What if I put the cages in a shed? In the other half our chicken coop we have a walk-in storage like shed. Is it bad to have chickens and quail relatively near eachother?- winterwolf4
