king quail

[blinnie]

I have just had baby king quail born about 5 weeks ago I have just had a look at the babies and I have found out one of them is male can I put my male in with my chickens or do I have to separate him altogether and what can I use to put him in.
I am not sure if these are king quails or not can someone please advise me on these pictures

Your chickens will eat him. I’d worry about putting a Jumbo quail with chickens, never mind a tiny CPQ. If he survived, disease would also be a worry.

Why don’t you want to keep him with your females? If you don’t plan on hatching eggs you can rehome him or just remove the eggs once laid.

i already have a male quail with the females so I was told you can’t put to males together

I’d split them into two groups or rehome him.

HERE'S SOME KING CRAB, I dont have any quail.

Those are buttons.
they don't belong with chickens. Buttons do well with only buttons. 1 male per 2 females if they have enough space. I've only been able to do duos because once a pair is bonded they will exile others.

Why cant you have a male with females? Do you already have a male or something?

They are king quails (they are also commonly but inaccurately called buttons).

You can't put him in with chickens, they will kill him.

King quails do the best in pairs. How many females do you have? Could you separate the group and put female(s) with each?

I keep my king quails in pair in rabbit hutches inside an aviary.

Also called Excalfactoria chinensis but nobody says that. Buttons may not be accurate but people do call them buttons.
