mountainboarddude Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 does anyone know if you can mix chickens and quails in a run and/or house? mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Quail are far too small to mix with chickens. The chickens would most probably kill them. Funnily enough Clare and I have been discussing quail tody by pm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'd say keep them separate to. If you want to keep quail I suggest you buy a little house for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as chickens 1bird per 1sqm is reccomended, but I think that is a bit large for 1 quail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm putting them on concrete, with astroturf, No digging! We have a rabbit run which they can go in afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Just done a quick search and come up with this site, which has quite a bit of info http://www.quails-in-essex.co.uk/ Like I said, I am keen to do it, but wouldn't wnat to hatch any until I'd found a market for the quail eggs/meat.
