I have had chickens for 7 years and hatch on a regular basis. 6 weeks ago i was given 2 quail eggs (Coturnix) that hatched. I then hatched 2 more a week ago. I think they are really cute and had thought i would just keep them as pets. Unfortunately i knew nothing about them and now feel foolish for not researching a little more.
I have 2 questions now for this pickle ive gotten myself into. First, will i be able to introduce the older pair to the younger pair like i can with chickens or is that a bad idea? Second....and this is the one im worried about the most....i had thought i would be able to house them with my silkies but just found out they cannot live with chickens because of disease...i am now going to build a separate coop for them but am wondering how far they have to be from my chickens?
