Button Quails: introducing youngs to adults

[zhekaz]

Just wondering when and how i can introduce about 5 weeks old quail teens to adults, male to female. I tried to put them together, young female to adult male, and they just fighting, female very scared

.

You might try putting them together, but with a divider of some sorts for a few days so they can get used to each other, but it's probably best to keep the age groups seperated. I wish you the best of luck!

The female is scared because the male is trying to breed her, and she's not ready. Wait until the females have already been laying for a week or so, then try again.
