Single Baby Quail

[CSpellane]

I ordered 60 hatchling quail through the mail and unfortunately 59 died! The singleton is crying and lonely. What do I do? I called our local tractor supply but they only have baby ducks. Will a duck hurt the tiny quail?

I'd have to think ducks are way too big to be with a quail.

Dunno how quail work as far as social needs but with chicken chicks you can use a mirror or a small stuffed animal to be a "friend" to the baby until you can get more babies or until they're old enough to join adults.
