how many quail

[BNChicks]

What is the ratio that u can fit in a 24x24 cage and get away with ?? With a good hatching rate also

This is in the quail section, so assuming you mean quail chicks...30?

 

[BNChicks]

Yeah sorry I meant a ratio of male to females in one cage to get hatching eggs

I've never owned quail. But my guess would be that boys would fight so as little boys as possible...maybe 1 boy to 10 girls?

24x24... feet or inches?

 

[BNChicks]

Inches

 

[WooingWyandotte]

Oh! Lol, I thought you meant feet.

Well each Coturnix quail needs about 1 square foot of space and 2 square feet of space if you want it to be healthy and happy... So in my opinion that cage is way to small for more than 2 quail. I suggest you either buy/build a bigger one or build a bigger one.
