Thank you! The chicks I am getting are brown. This has been very helpful. Can you use a chicken egg incubator for quail eggs? One of my relatives has a chicken egg incubator.

Yes you can use any incubator, as long as it is able to reach the correct temperature and humidity required for hatching quail. Does your relatives incubator have an automatic egg turner? If it does and you are planning on using it, you would probably want to make sure it can fit tiny little quail eggs. You can always turn the eggs manually, although I find it easiest and most convenient to use an egg turner.

Glad to meet you. Sean gives great advice. You also do NOT want 2 males. The males will fight to the death - though if you insist, you can try by giving them LOTS of space and hiding places. They are different from roosters even, in the level of aggression. Little birds, but 2 males just cannot coexist.

2 males or more can co-exist, if and only if there are no females in the pen or within sight or hearing. :old

Ok. I don’t know if it has an egg turner I will ask them. Will the roosters fight through a fence? If so can I have one rooster with 10 hens? Also how would I go about incubating them could I just take eggs and incubate them? One more thing should I put nesting boxes in for them? Sorry for so many questions.

You can try nesting boxes but quail tend to lay eggs where ever and when ever they are at the time. Some might choose the same spot each time.
