So, I could possibly be getting some quails next spring, most likely Japanese or coturnix. I have some questions regarding them, any help is much appreciated.
1. How do you house them?
My 6 chickens have a 20x20m enclosure and an old kids playhouse as their run/house. It has no top. The general opinion I’ve read on keeping them together is a big no, so what kind of enclosure and house do they need?
2. What kind of feed do they need? Do they have it all the time like chickens? Or do they over eat?
3. Do they need any other special things? Or just anything else major I should know about?
Edit: 4. Would i be able to house them in with ducks? I’ve read they fly, so they’d be in a chicken tractor sort thing, just in the same area as ducks.
Thanks for your help
