Morning of fun for my quials

[Owntalin]

Morning all! So my quails were having fun this morning flying around their coop. They have all settled so well and love it so much!

Very cute! They like to climb and explore when they’re young.

You might want to consider 1/2" hardware cloth, not so much to keep the birds in, but to keep predators out. Everything likes to eat quail.

Ah, so you have external predator proofing!

England has predators too, though. Rats, weasels, etc.

You do have a nice setup.

Ty very much! That's lovely to hear. Actually just where we are we get foxes only. We are in a town. Don't see any rats, never seen weasels. Maybe birds of prey but wouldn't get them trying. But yes our dog is fab. Always has been. Plus we do have an inside bit for bed time. Haahaa 4th day of being outside and they know when it's bed time! First night was crazy getting them in, second night easier, but still had to chase abit, 3rd and tonight they know, they call to each other and get ready by the door. Our biggest chicken was even telling us by jumping up and down and squarking abit. Then he just headed in and the rest followed. So we just closed the door!! Easy!

Can these tiny creatures be any cuter?

It looks like you have a mix of types. Coturnix and--Valley, Gambel's, Bluescale, or...?

I have four chicks who are a few weeks old. They don't live outside yet because it's winter here, but I take them out to explore during the day.

No they are californian and white bobwhites. We thought we had normal bobwhites, but their feathers coming through are white.... So we think that is what they are.
