Good luck! WIth some quail pairing up happens immediately, for others it may take longer. Make sure you watch them, it can get really bad over night!!!

Please post your success when it happens, fingers crossed for yah

Thank you! I will come back here if I have any eggs. Also, really bad how?? When introducing them they will be separated by some small sized chicken wire/hardware mesh first, then I can take that down when it seems they trust eachother.
I plan on using my old computer and my webcam to set up a livestream to keep a good eye on them.

Give them a favorite treat as a distraction. Also, do they have a mini house? I made my quail a house out of a shoebox with many doors and walls, and they could jump onto the roof. You probably know everything you need to know I'm just sharing my success... I brought home a beautiful new boy and checked with every lady quail, not knowing that one of them was already paired up! Finally one quail did get along with him, and I don't know the gender since it's white. After they established a stable relationship I moved them back with everyone else and separated the pair (the female chose a very protective male!). All was good from there.
