Wolftracks, go read the stickies on the Quail forums. I have been reading and learning alot! I have 4 baby coturnix and need to figure them out. Cute little stinkers with lots of personality and attitude. I hope I get 4 hens and 1 roo out of these, that would be perfect. If not I am...
All my little ones are doing great! I do have one "special needs" chick. It is the only Naked Neck I got to hatch. I love this little girl! Hoping it is a girl! She is doing much better today. I had to make a booty out of a bandaid because it has curled toes on just one foot. It is...

If you get a lone chick out of this hatch, it should blend well with week olds. I would definatley stick it in with the week olds. I do it all the time, I mix ages when they are chicks. They seem to be picking, but really they just check out the new one and soon they are all cuddled...
