cold tolerance

[95yj]

yet another question... how well do bob whites handle cold weather, assuming they have adaquet protection from the elements and all that jazz.

They tolerate the cold well, like you said providing they have somewhere to get out of the wind, rain, snow.. etc.

I have a 12 by 18 greenhouse and i have my coop inside of it it stays about 15 degrees warmer without any heat than it does outside. this is the first winter i have had quail. i am praying they will be alright.sojono.

your definition of cold may differ, new england winter type cold?

I don't raise quail but I did some research an they grow wild in PA. So I would said they do good in the cold. If your worry about them be outside I would put a tarp over them and a 100 watt light. This will keep them out of the wind rain and snow and give them heat.
