Quail vs Meat Chickens

[TyRi]

Hello, I am nosing around the ideas of running some meat birds! We currently have 18 egg layer chickens (1 probably rooster) that we got Mar 2 so no eggs yet. Trying to get some ideas or suggestions for space/feed and speed of production ready/ease of raising comparisons between more chickens for meat or go with quail. Also side question if chukar are even worth an option?? Not read much on those but figured I’d throw their hat in the ring. Any help/comment would be greatly appreciated!

Meat chickens are better at converting feed into muscle than quail. Given all else remains the same, space, speed of production, etc...chickens provide more 'bang' for the buck!
