Quail advice needed

Post by goatgal35 » Mon Apr 18, 2016 8:51 am

I have been told that I can house Coturnix and Bobwhites together and they will stick to their own groups and not crossbreed. Is this true? I would love to set up a large quail aviary and let them all run together but I always assumed they would crossbreed.

Yes they will crossbreed. The last time I put bobwhites and coturnix the male bob killed the male cot. But maybe too small a cage (3feet by 3 feet) and the female bob had died earlier. The bobs will move as a covey, the cots scatter around. Good luck with that.
