I've been strongly considering quails, but in order to convince my parents to allow me, I need to do some research. I thought that this would be the perfect place to ask some of my more complicated questions. If you have any answers please let me know, thanks!!!
1) can quail eat chicken feed if I add in more protein?
2) I know that you can have 1 male and 3 female, but if I were to do 8 quail, would it be best to have 2 male and 6 female or 1 male 7 female? I don't know if the males would fight, which is why I ask.
3) do you suggest hatching quails from eggs, or buying them as chicks?
4) I could make an outdoor cage, or have them indoor. We do have wild coyotes that would probably come around the cage quite a bit, especially at night. Would it "spook" the quails, or would it be okay to have the coop outside? Please let me know if you have any answers/opinions, thanks!
