Introducing new female duck to established trio

Jumbo Japanese quail and king quail
G'day all! Brand new to raising quail but loving it so far! Grew up on a farm in rural Australia and have my own home now with my wife closer to suburbia, so quail were an obvious choice with the smaller yard. We have a great compact garden with worm farms, veggies and now quail, aiming to be...
