EmmaRainboe's first hatch, quail hatch-a-long!

I don't know.
I avoid integrating at all costs.



I would guess you could try once the babies are a month or so old.

What age can I start integrating the 1 week babies in with the big kids?

I integrated the little ones at 3 weeks old. They did fine. I first took them on field trips so they could meet eachother and then slowly morphed them with the others. No bullying or blood was shed during the process.

I did not use a see no touch setup like I would for chickens.

Awesome. How old were the big ones when you integrated the 3 week olds?

They were 16 weeks old, roughly. I had to look through my photos first...

I had only 5 adults at that time.
