My wife an I are currently looking into getting some quail. We'd like to build a stand alone outside hutch. Trouble is we have these very cool, wet winters up our way. One day it could be -7 or -8 Celsius, the next day it could be +2 and windy with sideways rain or sloppy snow. I've watched some videos where people have said quail are fine in cold weather as long as they have a place to get out of the wind. None of the people in the videos I've seen seem to be in places that have wet winters, and they don't really address the issue of the quail getting wet. If it rains in the day and the Quail are out in it then it freezes overnight are they likely to die, or have Quail adapted to these kind of conditions? Am I better off just keeping them inside altogether in a place like a shed in the winter and having a separate outside hutch for summer?
