Hello,
I am a chicken lover/owner with who just acquired 3 Bob white Quail. I am a vet tech but have no experience with these little birds, any advice would be welcomed!
I am taking 2 females and 1 male (under a year old) from a woman who's husband just died and raised and really enjoyed them in his final months.I am keeping them in a smaller coop that we used to put our pullets in before transitioning them to our larger coop/enclosed run.I am picking them up later this week.
We eventually would like to build a separate run/coop off the back of our current chicken coop, but have them separated by fence and get more.
My questions are as followed:
1: Should I be feeding medicated game bird food ,as I don't know their history?
2: Will it be dangerous to my chickens to have them in a separate coop/run attached to the back side of my current chicken run? *After quarantining them for a while to make sure they are healthy
Thanks in advance for any advice!!
