not sure where you are from, some quail require permits in some areas.

feed turkey starter in the beginning, layer crumble later on. never let them run out of feed, they will eat each other.

pen depends on breed, but get wire with extra small holes. 1/2 inch hardware cloth usually works pretty well. I bed mine in pine shavings they seem to do fine.
