Coturnix and Space allowances...

Quote:
this is the best answer I have read lately it really depends on a lot of variable factors such as if they were brooded together as chicks are if just a buncha different birds are thrown together Leyland Hayes actually recommended .5 sq ft /bird for coturnix and I think he was dealing with jumbos the best "rule" I have ever seen is there are no rules with birds only guidelines

Thank you for a reading suggestion. I have been looking for anything. Have "Keeping Quail" by Thear and "Raising Gamebirds" by Scheid...Appreciate another. Thank you again

I keep mine in medium sized breeding cages with 2 females and 1 male and they are doing great, no tearing up the females and getting some nice fertile eggs so it works well.

My answer to this is give your birds alot of space & the correct number of roo's other wise you will have bloody birds.
