    Will Quail lay on other quails eggs?

    I was wondering if a quail will lay on another quails eggs? I have a mix of bobwhites and coturnix quail, if one of the coturnix lays the egg would the bobwhite sit on it as if it were her egg? The coturnix should start laying soon but the bobwhites have about another month.

    Baby quail lighting?

    I picked up 14 1 to 3 day old quail and 5 2 weeks old quail today I have a heat lamp but has no lighting. I've read about blue and red inferred light I believe I should get the red. Has anyone tried just a heat lamp with no lighting? Should I definitely invest in a red inferred heat lamp?
