Has anyone done it and if so any advice? I am considering it!!
* do they need a seperate space?
*will they get bullied?
*can I have a area with an entrance that only the little quial can get through so I can feed them any specialfood they need?
*where can I buy quail?

anyone have any idea??

I think they have to be kept seperate. Caralou and Chicken lady have quail so may be worth sending either of them a pm for advice

Hi...  You should not keep them together as the chooks will make short work of them

they dont need special food, layer is all they require... and they dont need acres of space either..... so easy to keep within a chook pen, just not as chook food

There are not loads  of us quail breeders around..... I have had people drive from Bedford, southampton,  and Welwyn Garden  this week.... all a good hour plus drive away

If you check out the breeders pages then you may find someone near to you

thanks for that chookiechook

My pleasure..... I am wondering if I can put the odd retired 'pet' quail in with my Seramas though.... they dont seem to be so 'in for the kill' as the larger chooks   Might try and be on stand by for emergencies

will let you know the outcome

Our pet supplies shop keeps quails with their Bantams and they don't seem to have any problems. They are very small bantams though, Dutch I think.

I bet my exbats would make mincemeat out of a quail!!!  Although my daughters favourite pet male has managed to peck the scalp off of his boyfriend!  I might feed him to the chooks if he isnt careful

Thanks very much everyone.... thats scuppered my plan then!! Hahahahaha Never mind I'll just build them their own little des res!!

Are there any other birds that can be kept with chickens?
