Hi,
I've recently acquired a young adult male bobwhite quail who turned out to be a great pet. He's kept in a rabbit cage indoors for now (we have a hot climate here in the summer, temperate in the winter). I would like to build him an outdoor run once the weather cools down. We would like to get him a companion. However, we are not equipped to incubate and raise quails and although we would love to have quail eggs it's not essential. Would it be best to get him a female companion of another variety (coturnix), or another bobwhite male? A bobwhite female (and then is there a way to use the eggs before they develop)? Appreciate any help, I am very new to quail lore and am having trouble finding answers online.
