My Japanese Quail is broody!!!

[LuckyMotherhen]

Oh! So she is mothering it? Hmm. I don’t think she’ll accept the others. It’d probably be best for you to raise them in a brooder. She won’t be "sad" for very long.

Even the one she's got?

I would. But I’ve never dealt with a broody quail before

I would say just make sure you keep an eye on the chick she has. If she is looking after it, not leaving it alone etc then it should be fine. Might help her learn to be a better mom next time. But if she starts to leave it at all take it away.

Well the chick I nice and warm and is clamming when she calls so I think I will leave them be.

Float test might have chill shocked them? Unless you used water the same temp as your makeshift incubator

I used warm water the same temperature As the incubator

When should the chick I have start eating?
