Quail are jerks, they will attack each other and try to get into their brains.
The best thing about quail though, they are hardy, I have not lost one to sickness in the years I have had them.

One good thing about having these small animals is that you can kill one whenever you want to have something to eat and not need to preserve any - when you butcher a large animal you end up needing to preserve the portion that you don't eat in a few days - so you need to can, freeze dry or freeze the left over meat - not so with a rabbit or chicken or other small animal - something to consider if things go south
