My 3 quail come up to me now just like the chickens when I go in their aviary. I think it’s because I handled them constantly and sat on the floor with them. They definitely aren’t flighty or anything. When I brought them feed in the morning the white one came right up to me and was staring at me until I pet it. I didn’t think they’d be this mellow. I guess holding them daily a bunch of times per day really helps.
Yeah that makes sense!! I only did it temporarily for like a week or two a few years ago and honestly I haven’t really seen them since. I mean, I’ve seen a few here and there, but this was a massive group with several toms and tons of hens, etc. and I didn’t try to pet them or anything but just got decently close to them. Which I know the feeding and getting close to them maybe is not good but honestly I wasn’t too worried because they only did it with me and were still plenty scared of other people. But they eventually stopped coming around. I think it was a change of seasons at the time. Anyway, I’ve since learned they can also become aggressive if you feed them so I don’t even feed any of the wild birds anymore.
I somewhat do the same and yeah, I don’t even usually hold the cat anymore. She just sits in the arm of the chair or next to me or sometimes she chooses to jump on my lap, side, stomach, etc. I go by her terms and she comes to me. And when she wants to leave, she does. Sometimes she’s in a super loving mood and holds me hostage other times, she’s really not and will give me the cold shoulder. Fine by me.
I know this is old now but does this mean you incubated lower than that?
Good question
recommend 3-6 females per male for max fertility. Can keep more.
it’s a game!
