Yep.

I wouldn't though because i did that one year and the quail started pecking each other, especially the males.

GQF's standards are .75 sq FT per bird, but i like to use 1 sq ft per bird so they are comfortable.

Ok gotta ask, are you talking flight birds, breeders or dayolds?
I really cant see putting flight birds in a pen with .75 sq ft.or even 1 sq ft per bird.
Breeders or chicks yes. So what are you trying to do?

But yea...those standards dont work for flight pens.
