We are going to put 2 or 3 cinder blocks in because I read that the quail will crawl into the holes in the blocks to get out of rain and snow. We are going to feed them millet and sunflower heads and are putting a waterer in there because we can't have natural water in a pen. We are going to find out if they lay eggs next spring. Any insight I am glad to take.
They may lay fertile eggs next Spring if they're still alive and there are both sexes in the pen! What have you made available in the pen for them to get out of the bad weather that will hit this winter up there?
