I am thinking to travel into quail raising. I have raised chickens all my life and want to try something new. I have been reading about breeder cages and want to know the minimum height. I have read not to make them too high as they may fly up and hurt/kill themselves. But what is minimum height for them to be comfortable. I have a few cages I made to transport hens that are 8" high. Can I use these? Some are 24" x 36" x 8". I have others that are 24" x 72" x 8". I want to keep Jumbo Brown and A&M Whites. How many jumbo quail could I keep in a 2' x 3' cage? Is the 8" tall enough or do I need to go higher?
I will house them in cages until I can get a nice outdoors cage for them.
Any help would be appreciated.
