Hi,
I need some input so who ever is out there please help me.
I have raised chickens all my life on and off.
My husband wants to get some quail, we have never had any.
I have a barn that has open sides on three sides. Under it we have a 10 foot tall and 20 foot square pen inclosed that could be for small birds. We were thinking of turning this into a quail pen.
But our concern is what his friend has said, he says that quail have to have something in their water to keep them calm or they'll die, that they have to have a concrete floor because they'll die on dirt. And that when you raise quail several will die everyday. Is any of this fact or is he a farthead like I think.
Thanks!
