Coturnix Quail and Serama chickens

[joer77]

I am creating a large Coturnix Quail avairy/habitat. I will have grasses, bamboo, small trees and bushes. I wanting to add a few Serama's and maybe some doves/fantail pigoen's to the avairy. I was wonder if the Quail and Serama will be aright together. The will have separate coops. Any thoughts on my project?

I personally wouldn't as there are many diseases that can be spread between chickens and quail. Sounds gorgeous though.

I would say probably no, as Emma said there's diseases that chickens and quail can transmit to each other.
Pigeons and doves should be ok though.

As has been said you should not mix Coturnix with chickens. Chicken carry diseases that that they are immune to that the quail are not. Space and fighting won't matter.

Unfortunately I have no experience with quail.

However, in my opinion it really depends on space. If these quail have enough room to escape possible bullies, go for it, but keep in mid that keeping small birds with larger bird than injuries can always arise unexpectedly.

I'd be more concerned with the quail attacking some of the more docile chickens. I've seen them suddenly decide that a flockmate is no longer allows to live
