Thinking about adding Quail - Questions about Housing

[Nabiki]

My run is 10x10x6. The hog panel, wire, and tarp roof make it a bit taller than 6 feet, so probably closer to 7 feet. Would that work for quail? In the photo below, you can see the coop behind our turkey Eugene. There is added wire along the bottom 4 feet of the run and it's also skirted around the run under the pavers, as well as covered with wire on top of the bent hog panel roof and under the tarp. It's fully enclosed. I've been raising chickens and turkeys in these coops for years. I'm just wondering if it would work for quail. I'd lock them up in the shed coop at night, just like I do with my chickens and turkeys. They would not be living with the chickens or turkeys. I'm getting a new coop for the chickens and the turkeys live by themselves because they were being bullies to everyone.

You will want to reinforce it with hardware cloth. I see a lot of gaps that might let quail out and would let predators in. EVERYTHING likes to eat quail.
