Gambel, Valley, Blue Scale quail ?'s

[Riffecreek]

Thanks to a few on here and JJ's poodle in a jar comment

, I'm looking into getting these 3 breeds.. I have found some local and some from a member on here.. But I have a few questions before I jump right in.. The reason I'm asking about pens instead of looking at the local ones is that when I go to get them, I'll have to bring birds back as it's a 1 1/2 hour drive!

For pens, I usually build 4 X 8 X 2 foot high for the bobs.. will that work for the others too?? If so, how many could I put in each pen?

Is their feed needs the same as bobwhites?? (pretty sure it is, just thought I'd ask!)

Is there anything I would need to do to the pens to keep them safe and warm in the winter here in Ky..?

and the all important question, Can I raise my Red fox in the same pen??

just slipped

Are there anything different about incubation, brooding, worming, and so on about them than raising bobs?

I'm sure I could search the forums and find the answers in a day or two.. but could use that time building pens..

Looking forward to jumping in with both feet.. Thanks for your time!

as far as feed i keep them on the same gbs as everyone else, as far as the pen goes i would recomend a higher pen because the breeds perch a lot more than bobs and as far as all three breeds at once idk i would start with californias, the go to gambles and blue scales they are much more skittish.
