Quail

Not difficult to keep, but need some maintenance as they lay their eggs all over the place and forget where. You must make sure that your location is proof against predators as rats, stoats, weasels etc will come in and wipe them out. My sister kept hers in a very large greenhouse with mesh ventilation at both ends, double door at one end so that they didn't escape as she came in. Predators were still a problem though, she lost a load. You can either grow large plants or put in dense branches, they spend most of their time on the floor but like to get off it at night.
