Just putting a tarp over chicken wire is enough? Does that keep their water from freezing? If you bring them inside, how do you handle keeping them and cleaning up after them?

ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS! sorry, but I'm having a really hard time finding a good resource on keeping them. And I would just keep chickens, but I can't keep "barnyard fowl" in the town I live. Quail, however, are game fowl :)

Where do you live? I have been thinking about keeping Corturnix for eggs, but I'm in the north east US and I hear they're not as hardy as chickens in the cold. I've read about people heating their coops in the winter or bringing them inside. Any insight?
