It's been close to a decade since I had quail but I'm thinking about getting some coturnix quail so I can start making pickled quail eggs again. When I had quail before, I happened to have an empty pen made out of hardware cloth but this time I'll be building from scratch. Well, actually enclosing the ends of an existing A-frame type thing with some sort of wire. I'm hoping to be able to use scraps of wire from other projects but am wondering if the quail will be able to escape (not worried about anything getting in...not an issue for us for various reasons).
