I did specifically say in my posts that what I'm saying won't work for everyone, because it probably won't. I have raised my Buttons with chickens and they were fine, so whats wrong with saying that? I may still be a newbie but situation is the same. Whether I'm somone with years of experience or someone whos just started the fact is that I raised quail with chickens and they were fine. Thats just MY expirience and I'm know others have had different results.

So what your saying is that just because I'm new to quail means that I can't share my experiences?
I'll chime in one more time! trying not to get shot here
All of this is just my opinion and I don't claim to know it all.. but I have seen first hand what can happen!
To give some understanding to so many with different opinions is like trying to make an outhouse smell like roses.. it just isn't going to happen! BUT I'll give it a try. What we have here is 3 kinds of people.
The first is the people that haven't raise quail very long.. they may get away with it a few time, or even a life time.. but the chances are there that sooner or later they will find dead birds in their pens, come on here asking for help, and end up loosing most if not all birds and have to start over!
The second type is people that have been VERY lucky, gotten away with it for years.. again a BIG chance that has been taken so far.. but hey, I'd rather be lucky than good any day of the week! but all it takes is one mess up and your in the same shape as above!
and the last one I will list. Some of us has raised quail for more than just a few years, and either went through one of the above trial and errors. I lost 2 flocks of bobs before I learned to do things differently. We are the ones that will go to our graves being hard headed thinking it can't be any other way than raising them separate.. I would not wish going through the disposal of sick birds on my worse enemy, let alone a beginner that might get discouraged and miss out on the joys of owning these little funny clowns... or flying snapping turtles as I recently seen them called
I did leave out a few types of people here but I think my post may be too long for them to read.. or it wasn't sent via text message straight to their phone..
