Quail and Bantams

[jackhowell990]

Hi, i was just wondering if you can have bantams and quail together in a large piece of garden. Would they get along?

Thanks Jack

Well, quail shouldn't live in a garden... They won't usually come in at night. The bantams will probably peck them up at first, and may get used to them. Plus they could get a disease called coryza from chickens. Some chickens carry that, and if you add outside stock that really increases you chances. If at all possible separate them...

Quail could live wherever one wants them to, it's the housing that you need to watch.

To the OP: there are several topics regarding keeping gamebirds with chickens, do a simple search and you should find several. Short answer: No.
