I want to start raising quail. Currently have 75 chickens. 50 roaster chicks the rest my layers. Have also raised pheasant, Pigeons and a few quail 30 years ago in high school. I was recently told I could have three of the 30" 3 section quail pens. don't have them yet, but think they are about 12-16" deep. seems like very small pens. If I remember, they we set up for 2-3 birds. Does that sound right?
would I be further ahead building my own pens?
I was also wondering if I could hang cages on the wall of my chicken coop?
If I set it up so the chickens can't get to the to it with a screen front, is it OK to have them in the same coop?
Forgot to mention, I would like to have maybe 10-25 for breeding and eggs. then will incubate several times a year for meat.
Probably build a larger rabbit coop style pen for my meat birds to finish in.
Any thoughts?
