rabbits and quail

[LukeMeister]

Rabbits and quail do fine together. I have a quail in a cage with two other rabbits and they do fine, in fact, they sleep together and cuddle sometimes.

That's great Dave! You may find you can make a spare buck or 2 ($$ that is) by selling quail eggs (for eating & hatching), quail, and rabbits. A LOT of folks are getting smart(er) about what they eat and there's a huge and growing market for locally produced consumables. Let us know how things progress for you! Pics are good too... just sayin'

As long as they can't come in contact they should be fine. Rabbits carry since diseases that quail are not carriers for. The only issue I see is the ammonia smell. Rabbit urine and quail feces are very potent. Together under one roof? Better keep your cafes clean.

Coturnix are fun. We raise thousands annually. They're truly an easy quail and definitely a great pick for a beginner.

Don't build your quail cafes to tall. Even coturnix are great fliers. They're very tame, though, and don't spook easily but they can and will kill themselves in tall cages.

I agree about the coccidiosis, I raised gamebirds and dogs and rabbits. We have had problems for years with the nasty little protazoans as they
don't really die if in soil.

Well, welcome @Gemmer to BYH from Indiana!
Do you still have the gamebirds, dogs, and rabbits, or what is your current herd(s)?
Did the dogs train on the gamebirds and rabbits?
What parts are you from?
Sorry for all the questions. We are a nosy bunch

Be patient with me, Ive always found these forums difficult to navigate with only a phone.
My herd is rabbits they are show/pet small breed (ND and lionhead) not dog quarry, its too difficult for me to steady the dogs on rabbit, although the British do it well.
I hunt with spaniels upland bird, whatever is their, stocked Pheas we have grouse indigenous.
I raise quail and pigeons (puppy training) which are kept separate from rabbits, in different building.
How do I get rid of the Lurker thing?

The Herd Lurker is a status... I think the more you post and things like that, your status will change.
