Chickens are very territorial and unless the chickens are smaller and the quail is larger, it probably isn't a good idea for a quail. They can also pass different diseases back and forth so it's not a great idea.

Not really as quail are very small and will fly off. However if they are in a aviary with a roof and there is a lot of room yes they can as they have room to get out the way of the chickens. I would only put a few chickens in with them just for good measure. Quail are very easy to keep!

Does quail look like chicken?

Quail when plucked does look a bit like a tiny chicken but it does not taste the same as chicken. It has a more 'game ' taste and I find it to be more oily in the mouth. Bear in mind that an average quail is only about 5 ounces so you will probably need three to make a meal.

How high do bobwhite quail fly?

When they are flushed they can fly about 20 feet off the ground and for about 50 to 60 yards. They seldom fly which is why they don't fly far, they do most of their travelling on the ground. Do chickens fly much? Quail are basically small chickens, so think of it that way. :)
