I am intermittently tempted to get quail -- until I remember that my DH dislikes having to deal with food that's a lot of work to eat because there are only a few bites to a lot of effort. Things like crab legs, artichokes, and Cornish game hens.
My chickens and I love these. Kept food dry even when I had misters going in the summer. Rarely any shavings/etc getting in the food. And are supposed to be rodent resistant.
