Title: Chickens and quail together?
Post by: alang on March 13, 2018, 10:51:17 am

Looking at keeping either chicken or quail and was wondering if you can house them together. I love both eggs/meat and would love to limit myself to one set-up.

 Any advice?

Chickens would bully the Quail the quail would get really stressed.

You might be able to trick some bantams into stilling on  quail eggs and raising them as their own

You would have the quail for a very short time indeed.
