Do quail mix well with chickens? I would love to put them all together but since quail are on the smaller end of things, would chickens bother them?

You can't mix both chickens and quail. Chickens can carry Coryza, (a bacteria that they are not effected by) that kill quail. Quail require a 28% protein diet, quail can be killed by chickens and have different nesting and roosting requirements. So they need to be kept in their own quarters unfortunately.

I see. So I need to be rich so I can keep all the birdies. And farm animals. Everything.

I mean....I guess I could build them their own run one day in my back yard. Keep a few quail.

There's always guineas too lol. Ducks. Turkeys. Better not tell my husband though. Will have to tell the other fowl to blend in.

Well you know, if you can't get quail, you can just get serama. Same size and
