Do quails go broody?

[BrittnyChicks]

Oh, alright~!

How about Chickens or ducks?

Also I would suggest getting rid of 2 of the males.

They arent in the same pen, its around 5-6 females quails per pen, we did get more females, so 1 male per 5-6 females.

I don't raise my quail on wire.

What do you raise them on? Same for us, just a few weeks ago they were still chicks, less than a year old, and we used a outdoor area, with pads and settups, but poo would get everywhere. How do you solve a good method?

Ok that is perfect I thought there were 5 hens and 3 Roos in one cage. Lol. Thank you for clearing that up.

I use dirt and stir it up multiple times a week then once a month add it to the compost and add new dirt works fine and hopefully goes good with my plants.

Yes chickens and ducks will go broody when they decide but if they are not broody they will not accept chicks.

So, just to clarify, chickens and ducks are more likely to go broody than quails?

Yes way more likely in chickens I’m pretty sure some breeds of chickens are more likely to go broody than others and some are better moms than others also even with more likely breeds it all depends on the bird that you have. (I’ve never had chickens before but from research I’ve done for when I get chickens)

Im interested in broody chickens at the moment, could you recommend some?

Eh they do sometimes, but in my experience they are not very consistent
