Rarer Quail Info.

next year i want to raise blue scales, gambels, and valley quail, just a pair of each. im thinking of a 4'x1' pen that is 3' high for each pair. that is 2 sq ft per bird and enough height to roost. for a group of 8 bobwhite i want to build a 4x2x2-3 pen. any suggestions would be great

I Keep Pairs Or Trios Of Butlers And Ga Giants In Smaller "honeymoon Suites Than That And They Do Fine--- Not Familiatr With Keeping Blue Scales So I Cant Help There... Valleys Do Fine In Small Cages As Pairs. Now For The Group Of 8 Bobs Togather--- I Always Say More Space The Better, They Can Be Quite Ugly To Each Other If They Get Crowded

i think ill end up with 8-10 bobs, 2 males and 6-8 females. or i could divide the cage up into seperate sections and put a pair in each or just put 5 pairs in a big pen. what would be the best way? i want to keep the gambels, blues, and valleys for fun and maybe sell a few eggs/chicks, but i want to have better production from the bobwhites, what would be the best way for this, considering my space? i could also do a 3x3x3 pen for the bobs
