Wookie Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Well, the fiancee and I took the plunge and got a couple of chooks at the weekend, but we still have a lot of space in the run and coop and so were wondering about getting a couple of quails as well. The big questions are will they get along with two normal hens in a coop and also where can we get them from. does anyone know anything about keeping quails with chickens that can help? wookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I used to keep cortunix with RIRxLS with no problems. They don't need extra feeding nd clean up nicely. Cocks do call early and they lay regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anser2 Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Have a look in Cage and Aviary Birds a newspaper type mag in your newsagents. They sell all sorts of birds including quail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
