Can different quail breeds coop together?

[Quailobsessed]

Keep in mind that California Quail are really in the pheasant family, while Coturnix are "true" or "old world" quail. So they aren't going to be terribly similar other than they are fat little byrds shaped like commas.

(I really wanted California quail for the same reason - the bobble - but their needs are SO different. Coturnix were much easier, plus do the things I need them to - an egg a day...)

Actually, japanese (coturnix) quails are in the Phasianidae (pheasant) family. California quails are in the Odontophoridae family.

Thank you for the correction! I apologize for getting it mixed up
