Can I put a super-late hatcher in with the 3 day olds?

I have one final coturnix quail egg hatching tonight...it's zipping now. I was gonna toss them in the am but there it goes. LOL.

Anyway, I have 3 that hatched on Tuesday morning. These babies just seem so huge already, compared to what they were!

I have them in a 20gal tank, so seems like lots of space for the 4 of them for now. Should I segregate a section off for him for a few days?

Thanks for the advice!

Go ahead and put him in and watch them a little bit -- my coturnix chix don't seem to have a problem, often I'll have hatches that last over several days. Last time I had a 3 day late chick with a bad foot, and they didn't harass him at all.

I mix mine quite often as I am terrible for doing staggered hatches.

I've not lost a chick to bullying yet.
