My buttons, 9 weeks old

[ChickieBooBoo]

They are actually just over 9 weeks old now, any idea on the sexes?

This is a cinnamon right?

In this one the silver got spooked by the flash and jumped, great pic!

All three together, I have a wild, a silver and a cinnamon right?

And the chick they live with

Very pretty! I love that second pic.. so funny!

That picture of them with the chick is going to be controvercial though.. chickens carry coryza among other things which can prove deadly to quail...

 

[ChickieBooBoo]

yep, I've had more people then I had to count give me heck cause I keep them with chickens. Might not work for them but it works for me

One day your quail might just drop dead though.. It can seem like all is well, then one day, BAM. It doesnt kill them right away, generally.

 

[ChickieBooBoo]

ya, the chick might have a heartattack and die suddenly too, it happens. But as long as everybody is healthy I see no reason to seperate them.

 

[arherp]

Freak accidents are different from disease. Everyone may look healthy right now, but I dont think you will have the same asessment in a few months time. They look cute together, and it is a bummer that they can't live together, but it is just the way their bodies and immune systems were made.

If this is such a serious disease why hasnt it come up? I know people wo have raised quail with chickens for years and never had problems, like I said before, it may not work for you but it does for me.

It looks like you have a golden pearl, a slate (silver X blueface) and a cinnamon blueface

I am learning, and so far none of the horrors you tell me will happen have happened.
