i kept some quail last year but lost them to a badger,they are smart little things but some can be really noisy in the morning

Ooh post pics if you do get some. I used to have chickens, but have always wanted quails and have come so close so many times. But i cant have any yet really.
If i ever do buy some, im buying the eggs off ebay and hatching them myself! So much more fun.

i had them in a fifteen foot run with a 8x8 hut on for night time,i put lots of small branch piles in for cover..even made a hammack which they all used to sit on.
