Been looking into it for a year now but haven’t built the pens yet , I have been looking at the jumbo coturnix for meat

I have. Hatched the eggs in a incubator. I butchered some and kept about a dozen in a converted wire rabbit cage. Took the dividers out to make the cage about 3'x6' x 15" tall with a enclosed box on the end with straw so they could stay warm. Layed a lot of eggs. Need to keep a container in the pen filled with dirt/sand for them to dust themselves. They love to dust.

coturnix is what wee have now. They are a prolific layer but you have to incubate he eggs as they won't sit.
