Maybe I should just start a new thread for this question, but I feel like it may be a little redundant with all of the applicable info above, so I'm just adding it on.
I currently have 5 Jumbo Coturnix Quail. I want to add on just one Araucana chicken hen. My plan is to hatch the chicken and raise her from birth with the quail. In doing this I'm hoping for a few things. #1 I'm hoping she will feel like she is part of the flock, so she won't be lonely, as she will be the only chicken. #2 I'm hoping that she won't peck the quail since they will be so much smaller than her once she is grown. And, #3, I'm hoping that if I can disinfect the eggs and incubator properly that there won't be any threat of coryza spreading to my quail.
Am I crazy to even try this? And, am I correct in my thinking I can beat all the odds by hatching the chicken and raising it with the quail? Input please!
