Brooding different age quail together

[supadave]

Hello everyone, I was wondering if it is ok to combine day old coturnix quail chicks with 4 day old coturnix quail chicks in the same brooder? thanks for any input

I have had day old and almost 3 week old quail together with no issues. Jus tmake sure that the day old quail are already quick on their feet and not drowsy when you put them in...as that seems to cause toe eating.

Thanks to both of you for your input, i have a small brooder that i will let the day olds wake up a bit, then i will put them together. I just got carried away with the whole hatching thing!

We had chicks that were different ages in the brooder so I had my son build them walls with his mega blocks. He also built tunnels and climbers, the chicks Loved it
