We went to an auction Saturday and i loved the quail so my loving SO got me some 19 Pharaoh and 15 Texas A&M with 4 babies and about 30 eggs all for a fairly decent price the A&M are laying the Pharaoh are 6 weeks so from what i read they should be soon, anyway the eggs are in the incubator going well so far we lost 2 of the 4 babies they looked bad when i put them in the brooder the other 2 are fabulous, now for the questions,
1. I know they eat Game bird feed, but can they eat chicken laying crumbles??
2. Are these two types good for beginners?
3. we built them this pen its pretty nice still not totally done need to add the siding to the outside and put in some stuff, can i put fake plants in there for a more real environment feel, what else can i put in there??
4. Is there anything they can not eat for treats?, besides sugary stuff ect.
5. is it okay to house the two breeds together? we are not worried about mixes
Here is their new home like i said not completely done but we couldn't keep them in the small cages
The Outside we are putting siding on it too.
The Inside siding already up!
The netting on the top
And here are some of the sweeties
