Thanks

Someone else here told me that Cortunix (not the button quail) are winter hardy in Canada.  I'm at the 40th parallel in the Appalachains, and I'm going to test that advice.

You don't need to bring courtnix in for the winter.  They are hardy.  But it is best to warp thier pen with plastic on all sides to stop the wind.
