Getting 4 week quail in mail

[BudgiesQuailsChickens]

This is my first time getting anything live in the mail. There are hardly any videos of people recieving any adult birds in the mail, and i was wondering if there is anything special you need to do? I was just planning on preparing a bin for them to hang out in for a couple of hours, that way they can eat and drink, and just chill out. Then i was going to introduce them to my existing flock of quail. I have 5 quail already, and am getting 6 more, so i am expecting a pretty smooth transition since they balance eachother out. Is this ok? Is there anything else i need to do?

You might want to keep them in an enclosure where they can see but not touch your other quail for a while. Personally, I would keep them in quarantine for a couple of weeks first unless you really trust the breeder you got the birds from.

Thank you, didnt even think about quarantine! They seems to be coming from a good place, but want to be safe.
