Chukar vs. Quail

[Jblightsey]

I have a small flight pen - 8' wide X 24' long X 6' high. Currently, I have 5 Bobwhite Quail in it. I have about 15 chukar in my small pen. Can I combine these birds in my flight pen or will it cause issues? Bobwhite are mature birds, chukars are approx. 6 weeks old.

Chukar will probably kill the quail.

Chukar will probably kill the quail.

Even given the young age of the chukar. Again, approx. 6 Weeks old.

They will be fine. Mix them.

Agreed the birds should be fine, I like chukars for training they tend to fly better with less room than quail.

At just 6 weeks i would worry more about the chukar getting hurt, the quail are out numbered though.
If you can throw some brush in there for cover

I have homers, chukar and quail all in one samller than that and they are fine. To encourage them to fly I have roosts up high that they all love to sit on. When I go in I stir them up a bit too. Fear humans, fly good, live to see another day!

All is good so far. They don't seem to mind each other at all. I did put some extra cover in the pen as well. Very surprised and pleased that I don't have to build another pen right now. Thanks for the advice y'all, I was worried that they wouldn't coexist.
