Quails

[luckyme]

I've kept quails at home for a while keeping my "courtyard garden" (or whatever estate agents call them) free of weeds and grass between the paving. Anyone got experience of keeping them on a 'lotment? Also anyone had poultry in an inner city plot - where I am we seem to have problems with scallies breaking in and causing problems, I don't want to come in to a nasty surprise one day...
