Hi Everyone!
Excited to finally be joining BYC! Our family farm has had a small flock of bantam hens (occasionally with some smaller standard breeds) for almost 26 years now. Our current flock consists of several new serama chicks, silkies, a gold penciled hamburg, a modern game, a fayoumi, a polish, a frizzle, 2 cochins, a few backyard mixes and a rescued white leghorn.
Recently we have adopted a few California valley quail who are laying like crazy but refuse to sit their eggs. We incubated several abandoned eggs for the first time, but despite our best efforts only one hatched. Now our one little chick is alone
. We are currently considering introducing our chick to one of our females (see picture). The lonely chick is very eager but the female is seemingly indifferent at the moment. We are fairly new to owning quail and very new to raising them, so anyone with advice or experience with a lone cali quail chick or introducing a chick to a potential mum please chime in!
Looking forward to hearing from you all,
Brightside Farm
