Yes you can and do not expect to much on the laying.

HI, YOU CAN KEEP THE VALLEYS IN THE SAME TYPE OF PEN BUT YOU DONT WANT TO PUT LIGHT ON THEM UNTELL AROUND APRIL BECOUSE YOU WILL GET THE HENS LAYING BUT THE MALE WILL NOT BE BREEDING THEM AND THE EGGS WILL NOT BE  ANYGOOD. SOME TIMES ON THE BOB WHITE IT WILL WORK BUT IN THE PAST I FOUND OUT WITH  THE VALLEYS, GAMBLES, BLUE SCALES IT WILL NOT WORK . HARVEY
