New to Backyard Chickens

[Kotton Kandee Chick Mom]

Hello, I have been raising chickens for over 25 years but I am new to the button quail/ and coturnix. Also I just received 4 African goslings. Dad had bob white quail so kinda similar but the geese are ALL NEW TO ME. Any suggestions on all my fowl would be wonderful.

Welcome to BYC! We're happy to have ya here

For some reason I don't have success with quail in tall cages, only short cages that don't allow them to jump on top of each other like crazy. That's pretty much the only random tidbit I can think of

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Quail are SO much fun to keep, such big personality in a tiny package! I kept them for over a decade, I actually like them better than my chickens.

The best advice I can give is do not over crowd them. Give them twice or three times more space then people tell you. They will be way more happy, friendly, and healthy. And don't keep them on wire, use litter of some sort.

Stop by our quail forums for more help too. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/quail.48/

Enjoy your quail, fun little birds!!
