Chirping
I have a 12x12 barn stall with an attached 24x24 corral that I'd like to convert to quail keeping as inexpensively as possible by wrapping in chicken wire and bird netting. I want at least one breeding pair of california quail as pets and to sell chicks, though I would like a small group of maybe 5-9. Since CA quail only lay seasonally, as i understand, I would also like another group of more regular layers for eggs, and coturnix seem well suited and easy to get a hold of, maybe 12-18 of them?
Is that doable without subdividing the space at all? Would I be overcrowding? I'd like to keep the quail as 'free range' and more importantly as happy as possible.
