How are the eggs different in size compared to a Standard Chicken, about half the size of a medium chicken egg or...?

How many Coturnix Quail can be housed in the same space as a Standard Chicken?

ETA: Are they quieter than chickens? It's sounds like they maybe make similar noises to wild birds you often hear, like the robins, blue jays, and sparrows. Yes/no?

Hey, just a suggestion.

On the permits thing, you could put them in ABC order, then it would be eaiser to find your state.

yep they make simliar noises to wild birds htey are not loud at all, the males courting call is the "loudest" and it's no where near as loud as a roos call.

as for size....big difference...i'll take a picture of a chicken egg next to a quail egg a bit later (gotta go shoppin) sorry lol!

a space as in for one standard chciken? well you can house 1 male quail and 4-5 females in a 2 ft by 2 ft pen.
