Brooding question

[MatthewsHomestead]

I have my first clutch of quail due to hatch any day now and will be bringing home a pair of yellow golden pheasant chicks tomorrow evening. Can quail and pheasant chicks be brooded together until old enough to separate?

Here is a thread similar to yours.

I honestly don’t see why not as the thread above says you can keep them together when they are adults. I do not own quail as I heard it is dangerous to own when you have chickens, so I can’t speak from experience. I did have chicks and keets together though and they did fine.

I currently keep my quail away from the chickens in their own coop. But then again I only have four ATM. Planning on a larger aviary for them as we expand the flock. They have been great! And they sing to me when I visit them!

I would keep them separate if you want to raise both.It's not worth trying and end up losing birds.

I learned this lesson the hard way years ago. No don't keep them together !!! the quail are the problem they will peck the vents of the larger Pheasants and it will kill some before you notice there is a problem. Might be OK for a little while if they are the same age but as the Pheasants get bigger that vent is right at the Quail eye level...
Same year I learned not to put young Pheasants in with Turkeys, Roosters will eventually have to take on a Gobbler and the gobblers make short work of them . Had no idea what was killing my roosters until I saw it happen . Young Rooster crowed and jumped up at the gobbler,Gobbler grabbed him by the neck shook him like a dog and dropped him, roosters neck was broken .

Wow, gobbler is intense! I’m planning on getting turkeys so good to know!
