Funnily enough DaisyDeb - I was driving to a mates last week and saw a budgie cage out on the pavement with something scuttling round at the bottom and a sign which said 2 male quail - free to good home!Poor little mites they were terrified. Lorries whizzing past them and there was an old lady with a jack russel dog which was fairly determined to get them - so I popped them in the car and took them up the lotty. My chicken run is empty at the mo as I am waiting for some ex-battery hens in a couple of weeks time.They are really sweet little things - and will - hopefully settle with the chickens when they arrive. They make a fairly alarming squawk every so often more particularly in the evening.One has a long beak which doesn't look right but it manages to eat and drink OK so have left it to settle in! I have seen them in aviarys scuttling round and as my chickens will be new to my coop - they will consider the quail to be part of the furniture so to speak and ignore them - I hope!!I think they live outside - so I am going to build them a home outside just for them with a small entrance - so that should they need an escape - they can go there!Good luck if you get any!!Old Bird ;D
