I’m really interested in raising a pair of mearns quail, and I’m wondering if I would need to bring them inside for the winter. I read that they are quite sedentary in the winter and I’m assuming they can’t survive 10 degrees f and below based on their natural habitat. Would they be ok inside in about 6 sq ft during the winter, and back out to about 20 sq ft in the spring, summer, fall? They seem to be much smaller than Coturnix, and I have 2 blind cots in about 6 sq ft and they seem very happy.
I’ve watched videos of their calls, and I’m wondering if they’re much louder than cots, and the frequency. The area in the house we have our blind cots is far enough from bedrooms that they don’t bother anyone if the male crows.
