Lonely quail!

[ivyboo]

1 quail hatched out of my first batch ever. I feel so bad for it. I’ve been searching locally for hopefully 1 more around its age. We hold it as much as we can but it cries a lot. Right now we have a stuffed animal in the brooder and I’ll be getting a mirror today. Another batch of eggs are on the way but will be another 2-3 weeks until they hatch. By that time will the lonely one be to old to put with babies? Anyone live near Toledo Ohio with an extra baby?

give it a mirror, small stuffed animal or a feather duster to cuddle with when you are not around to give attention

When the new chicks hatch, I wouldn't put your lonely one in with them until they're close in size. That might not be until the youngest are 5-6 weeks old.

I would put them in pens next to each other, though, so the lone chick can see and hear the younger chicks. That will help.
