New chicks to the flock

[sunbursts]

Put our 4 week old baby quail in with our adults today. We have one lone male that will go in the cage with these. The wall is a metal screen so they can both see each other and it's strong enough that no one can break through. We'll try this first and wait on introducing them for some time.

Yeah, do NOT introduce them until the babies are ~6 weeks. If he's been alone there's a good chance he'll be so pent up that he is pretty violent with them at first, and you want them to be of a good size (and scalp skin thickness...).

Your setup looks great!

Yes, he is quite pent up!! He's been alone since February (when my other female/male paired off). Hence the early introduction I'm hopeful a nice long time for them to get use to each other should do the trick.
