Why Can't You Put Quail and Chickens Together
- Thread starter ChickenGirl3
- Start date
I have chickens and quail together, they were raised together and everything and I've not had one bird sick. Maybe raising them together made the difference, because the young quail were exposed to coryza at an early age. If you bought an adult quail somewhere and suddenly intoduced it to a flock of chickens you might have a problem. I don't know, I've never done it. But I DO know that they can, at times, be raised together and people have done it successfully. Myself included. Others will probably disagree but everyone has a different opinion.

No, you have a different opinion. We have a fact. Some people deny it exists, but there is proof. If there is proof of it then why take the risk?

Most chickens are carriers of a disease called coryza. They don't show symptoms though making it impossible to tell without trial and error. Quail catch it and it spreads like wildfire.
Do you know, can chickens then be tested for coryza?

I only hatch my birds. That's how I started and I maintain a closed flock due to not wanting to introduce any disease to my birds. I never lost any bird to Coryza or other mycoplasmas but others have. It's better to get your quail and have them in a separate hutch rather living with the chicken because disasters other than disease can occur. You also want to quarantine the quail for a month or two anyways since they could be carrying diseases. Just my two cents

Coryza is one mycoplasma chickens carry. They are many. But it's like putting children in the room with a sick elder. With the size difference and that quail don't do well out of a cage, it's best to keep them separated. I first take care of the quail and then the chickens.

I'm almost positive they can, but if they are ever around any chickens or if you are ever around any other birds you can pass it on to them making testing useless. Unless your flock is completely isolated. I know they can test if the birds show symptoms, not sure about carriers though.

And I have proof that in some cases they can live together, there is proof on both sides of the issue. I'm not saying it will work in every situation, I don't ignore the fact that it can and does happen to people. But it is not 100% true to say that housing them together will automatically kill your quail.
