    Anyone else kept quail and finches together?

    Okay, that makes a lot of sense

    Anyone else kept quail and finches together?

    That is so cool! I have heard that so long as budgies have friends, they are pretty placid towards other birds :) I am hoping to rescue some budgies soon (we have so many people give them away on craigslist around here) and try and introduce them into my cage once I get a larger one. Again, I...

    Oh yeah I know haha :) I do a ton of research before trying anything, and always have backup cages. Our local petstore breeds them (sustainably, don't worry, best pet store I have found) and the society finches and zebras grow up together, so they are quite used to each other, anyways.

    My quail definitely prefers the finch food haha, but other than that, she eats insects and sprouted grains.

    That's so amazing! Once I have my own place and room for an aviary, I am going to get a bunch of zebra finches to be friends with my society finches :D

    Anyone else kept quail and finches together?

    They do have a lot of fun! They get along quite well :) never had any aggression issues. I do make sure they both have their own little hiding spaces, as in the finches have their nest, and my quail has a little cove behind a wall of bark, but just so long as everyone is fed, and even if they...

    Ended Contest 5: Cutest Baby Fowl - 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch A Long

    This is Ferris, my hopefully female quail chick. She is an only chick, as no other eggs hatched out of the ten I set. She loves to hide in my skirt whenever I sit down, and when am not around she sleeps under her surrogate sock mum. I hope she will become a sweet quail whom I can free range...

    My chicken eggs are at day 23 and have not hatched. Is there any hope left for them?

    Nope, not yet. But now I know there is a chance that some more can hatch! The quail chick is under a "momma" sock right now.

    Great news! A tiny quail chick just hatched, and it is ADORABLE! It is so tiny, and it has brown stripes over yellow down. I am hoping for some more quail chicks, and we will see what happens! -Confused Taru

    Okay, my humidity is now 65%. Thank you for the advise! I do not have any pips in the quail or chicken eggs, but I am waiting. The quail eggs are on day 16. The chicken eggs are on day 24.

    Okay, I will try to increase the humidity. I should be getting some quail in the same bator any minute now, really, so I should correct the humidity. Thank you for responding so quickly! -ConfusedTaru
