Hi 
We're thinking of getting 5 or 6 quail to be kept in our garden as pets and for eggs. The only bird I have kept before was a budgie so this will be a fairly new experience! So I have a few questions about their possible accommodation...
Would something like this (see picture) be suitable for our Quail? It is 6ft long, has a ramp up to the enclosed area and removable tray for cleaning.
Would it still be suitable for them in winter in the north of England? (which is likely to be wet, cold, windy and snowy)
If it would do for winter, should I cover it or insulate it in some way?
Would I need to put some sort of flooring on all/part of the run? or will they be happy enough on the ground? (bearing in mind that it rains a fair deal here)
The quail will come from a local farm and so will be well used to the climate, but may have been raised inside. I'm not too sure as yet.

Thank you!
