yes you could keep quail in there. In my experience they won’t use the coop part in the same way as chickens do, (i attempted to put all 7 of mine in a coop every night for the first few weeks outside) but some of mine do climb the ramp in my 2 level grow out hutch. mine have done well outside through the winter here but I did bring the adults in during the “arctic blast” and kept a coop heater in the grow out hutch for a couple of weeks. as far as # of quail in that space....best answered by kiki or 007 etc. all my birds have done well but i’ve heard some horrible stories of aggression by both male and female quail.Was the Blue and white one from Amazon LOL Husband bought it
