Quails and Chicken? Help?

[SoCha]

Hello,
So we have been wanting Coturnix quails for a while now. But now that we found some, well we need a place to put them... So I have some questions, and it would be awesome if they can get answered.

We have been feeding our hens this: can quails eat this too?


Can quails stay in a chicken coop with chicken ( We would make them a little house with hiding spots inside the coop)?

We have 2 eight months old light Sussex chickens. They are very calm and friendly ( at least with us

) would quails be ok to stay with them?

If they share a house with my chickens would they need their own water.

They... What is the minimum amount of quails do we have to get ( I heard they have to be in groups).

How do they sleep? On a branch in the air like chicken?

Are they calm?

And lastly, do they run or fly away?


Thank you guys so much!!!!! Puzzeled carer.

I know nothing about quail. I can tell you, though, that chickens can be very territorial. Even adding new chickens to the flock can cause drama and fighting. I can't say for sure that they'd attack quail, but I'm guessing there's a pretty good chance it will happen.
