Depends on what type of quail you are keeping. Coturnix- about 10 or so comfortably. Coturnix are kept one male to 4 to 7 females, kept separate from each other. Any of the New World Quail such as Bobs, Gambels, Blue Scale, etc..- about 5 or 6. This type of quail need to be paired off during breeding season and kept separate. Oh, and welcome to BYC and the quail forums!
