The plan is to keep them for eggs but if we have too many males we might have to once they are big enough :x

No longer needing the box incubation setup since they have their feathers now ![](http://i.imgur.com/p5aWWAxl.jpg)

They've been outside for a while now and started to lay eggs. This was what they were in before we made a bigger cage ![](http://i.imgur.com/wKPGKLPl.jpg) ![](http://i.imgur.com/l1yxaOSl.jpg)

...nice work Dany, very impressive. Would you be able to do the same thing with chicken eggs? I've always wanted a few chickens around for fresh eggs.

Haha after this batch, I don't think we're doing anything with fowls because they stink!

That's cool! They are really nice looking. My neighbours keep a few chickens in his yard so I asume it would works too. As long as there's no rooster around !

Sad to say that something (a raccoon?) broke through the hardwire cloth + killed all the quails through the cage ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Not sure if we will try again with more reinforcement

Whoa cool quails! I used to incubate duck and chicken eggs, but I wouldn't know what to do with quails right now D: If I had the space I'd love to try raising some

Yeah they do require quite a bit of space.. I'm going to try button quails this year for fun. I'll keep you posted if I do follow through Here are more pictures of the setup The 'outside' area with water ![](http://i.imgur.com/pWWfr54l.jpg) The 'inside' with the food (it is always covered and provides shade) ![](http://i.imgur.com/vUgnC17l.jpg) This white quail that was hatched with our other quails ![](http://i.imgur.com/y30mHYKl.jpg)
