And a few Celadon Quail.( look that up. )
Quail actually make a lot more sense than chickens in an urban setting.
3 females and a male in a Rabbit cage.
No noise, no smell, eggs and meat.
If you need to go somewhere..
Taking a hamster cage over to the neighbours is easy..
Not everyone wants a cage under the coffee table but a garage or spare room works.
No predator issues, no winter warmth, freezing combs or water problems.
Food conversion is high and they have a fairly short lifespan.
I actually just got some quail in a 1bd apartment a couple months ago.
I currently have three female in a turtle cage, I did have one male but he pecked at one of the females and made he bleed, so he's gone now.
Even when we had the male he's crow wasn't loud enough to be a concern.
I just started sprouting black oil sunflower seeds, and got superworms to try and breed as a food source for the quail.
My next plan after that is to try vermicomposting.
