In a few months when the weather starts warming up, I will be moving some of my quail in to a "quail tractor". This tractor will be moved around in a 120 square foot garden bed I use for growing rabbit food. I intend to have the bottom of the tractor open with no wire. So I am thinking of adding a box( on the ground) with a door that the quail can roost in at night to keep them safe from predators. Would the quail return to the box at night like a chicken would or would they sleep out in the open?
