Hi there,
I'm new to the site and new to quail, but I'm getting into them more and more. I'm afraid I have OCD..ha ha...Here's my question/problem that maybe someone can kindly point me in the right direction?
I would like to build a bank of decent sized aviary/flight pens with 3 different species. I do want production, but I also want to be able to enter a flight pen type situation that I can be in the same enclosure with them. I realize they are not real social birds with people, but would like to seem them get plenty of room to fly and move around at the same time filling next boxes each day. Make sense?
So, my question is.....is this practical or should I stick with smaller, elevated coops? I live in So. Cal, have property for a decent sized set up. Drainage on the dirt/ground during winter months isn't a problem if I keep them on the ground. I would just like a it to be a mix of being able to watch them and get the most amount of eggs as possible. Any suggestions? I've been looking online at pics to make sure my husbandry is correct, but I don't see enough of what I'm trying to do. Help?
Thanks,
Barry
