    1 week old with hatchlings

    We have coturnix and have mixed numerous times 3 batches 5 days apart with no problems. But we have not put them with older birds till they were 5 days old. I am not disputing what is generally said about this nor am I highly experienced. Merely stating what we have done.

    I'm so sick from eating my quail's eggs??

    Have tried a couple things to salvage a cracked for th incubator but nothing has worked. So if its cracked we eat it. There's no way 4 quail eggs would satisfy me. For a meal I want two chicken eggs or 8-10 quail eggs. Ours are coturnix.
