Quail Education Housing Care Cage Feeding Trapping Bird Banding Nesting Raising

You will need to offer your Quail a shelter to get out of bad weather, such as rain, wind or snow. Quail are incredibly hardy and can survive brutally sub-zero temps as long as they can get out of the weather. If you keep your Quail in cages, you can either bring your birds into a shed or garage during the winter months or cover them completely with a heavy tarp during bad weather. Wind will suck the heat right out of your birds and kill them. They cannot tolerate being wet either. What ever type of housing you use for your birds, make SURE to stick to the proper square footage as per the different species requirements. NEVER cram your quail in. They can be very aggressive, cannibalistic and will kill each other if they feel cramped or frustrated. Lots of threads started all the time in our Quail Forums because people are cramming them in. So do not be tempted to keep more birds than you should in their allotted space requirement.
