My quail use rabbit water bottles and bin feeders, and are just fine with both. I use ramekins when it's below freezing as they are deep enough to keep their feet out and heavy enough not to turn over. Crumbled food in bins seems to have lots of dust and tiny bits that I empty out when I refill them, and usually I just add water to it and make a mush for them so it's not wasted. I've had them in rabbit hutches and now a custom rabbit/hutch that has 5 divided areas that are about 24x24 each, and I can fit up to 3 comfortably in a section. That's 3 females, 1 male 2 females, or 2 males. Just be careful of overbreeding and upset females, as my breeding trio actually revolted against the male this winter and he ended up with a broken leg. He's healing in a separate cage, but I won't be putting him back in with them.
I use the shallow cardboard tray/base that packs of canned dog food come in then put sand and/or shavings in them for the quail to play in, then just replace as needed. There is also a little house (chinchilla dusting plastic houses are great) in each section for them to get out of the wind/rain if need be, and they tend to lay their eggs in them during egg season. I use a clear plastic shower curtain to cover the front of the cage in case of snow/rain/sleet. They stay out in all weather as long as they've got a wind block, but if it's very cold I add shavings onto their trays to give them something to snuggle into. They also like piles of leaves in the fall.
