Hatching Coturnix quail eggs with bantams!

[chickenman95]

Is it possible to have a bantam hen sit on coturnix quail eggs? i read somewhere on BYC forum and it says that bantam chickens can sit on the eggs. Also, any suggestions as to which type of bantam would be best to sit on those eggs? Thanks!

There are diseases that chickens carry that don't effect them but can kill your quail.

No problem

I just started with quail a few months ago myself, but that was one of the first things I learned. My original plan was to house my quail with my ducks, but ducks are the same way. So now I have a little greenhouse that the quail share with my plants
