Hi, in addition to the Quail forum, there are several good articles about quail in the Learning Center: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/categories/quail.32/

Good luck!

Hi again! I just wanted to amend my enclosure suggestion. I was just working off of the top of my head for space requirements and I definitely wouldn't keep a pair in less than a 2x3 enclosure and I would add 2sq feet of space per bird added. The more space you can give them, the better, in my opinion.

I did the math on my hutches and they average about 3sq feet per bird. They all seem to do well and have hiding spots (boxes with an entrance and exit cut out of them). I've put live plants in there that are safe for them (like aloe) and they love it.
