. so ill update tomorrow and ill let you guys know how many hatched and maybe get pics. how big of a pen would i need to house maybe 15-16 quail? right now i have my 10 quail in a 4 foot wide, 8 foot long and 4 foot high planted aviary, with an attached 4x4 house on it. but i would like to expand to accomadate the new flock. Thanks everyone!
 
4w x 8l = 32 sq. ft.

Recommended space requirements for coturnix is 1 sq ft. per bird, so you should be fine putting them with the others.
