I wanted to update everyone on my quail adventures. I hatched 2 quail out of eggs I got from the Jan egg swap. One of the 2 disapeared, I think the cat got it. So I was left with one lonley quail.
I happen to have a hatch of cochin chicks a week after the quail hatch. I took the smallest of the chicks and put in with the lonley quail and they bonded. Not only have they bonded but the chick is totaly in love with the quail. It defends it from me every time I try to pick it up. So here is Cricket and it's cochin buddy.
