Actually, I think you're right! I messed it up I think with bobwhite quail because they both start with B. So I rechecked with the store and googled how the chicks look and the 2nd chick is indeed a bobwhite.
Sorry for the mix up! I'll edit the other posts for future people. Thanks for bringing...
Alright! It's been 2ish days and the gamble doesnt seem to be pecking at our bobwhite quail anymore. The gamble is eating more and displaying similar behavior now to the bobwhite. We are trying to see if we can still tame them both a bit more along the way. They like going inside our hands when...

A bit about myself is that I have 4 chickens (3 hens and one rooster) but not sure about breed myself haha. My family just decided on having them as pets and for eggs. I will post later about them to find out exactly what they are. Apart...
