Combined hatchings

[navasima]

Can different species hatch together? I've seen pics of different types of quail together, but how about bantam chicks and Cots?

If yes - at what age must they be separated? ....or is the transmission issue not applicable in this situation? ....or must they be seperate because "big" chicken chicks would kick Cot butts?


TIA

IF you hatch them together they will live together

No size/bullying later?

has anyone done this? The combined hatch I mean....

My cabinet incubator has three racks. Top rack I hatch chicken eggs, bottom two racks, quail eggs. When they hatch, quail chicks go in their brooders, and chicken chicks (or ducks) go in their own brooders. Easy

I agree with Aphrophet there.

Also if you have a styrofoam incubator, you can get quail turners and chicken ones and incubate the eggs in one bator.
