Got a hutch, will it work for quail?

The point I was trying to make is that people tend to over complicate things. The simplest solution is I usually the best. His birds are being kept in an open air environment with chickens that will be coming and going. They will not be housed permanently in the same pens. People act like chickens are a quails kryptonite! In certain environments and situations I would agree that quail are more suseptable to certain diseases. But in this case I'm pretty confident that the quail will do just fine.

As I tell my kids when we are building cages, "we're not trying to contain velociraptors, just a little 10 oz bird!"

I agree that they do not mean instant death and in many cases never cause a problem. On the other end of that coin when someone has a biosecurity problem it means dead birds, and often it means a lot of dead birds. If the chickens never touch the quail the quail can never get coryza from them.
