BW Quail Questions

[tpcrjf]

I am designing an experiment that is exploring wildness/fear/tameness in game birds and the implications for stocking/reintroduction. I am using northern bobwhite quail as a case study. I have a few questions. I have plenty of experience raising game birds but none with quail. There is a lot of information out there but I wanted to get some thoughts from the people on here and some other forums.

What is the recommended...?:
- Area ft^2 or cm^2 for BW from 1 day of age to 4-6 weeks?
- Height of for brooding pens
- Size of floor wire? 1/4"x1/4"? (Assuming they are raised on wire)

Some more questions?
- What are the pros & cons of raising bobwhites on wire/ground?
- How tame/wild have you found captive raised bobwhite quail to be from 1 day old to 4-6 weeks? Please briefly outline brooding conditions and the amount of human interaction.

Thanks again,

Tom
