Can you let your quail free range with the chickens and ducks or are they too small?

They can't free range, they don't stay and would be little snacks for everyone. I have an old baby crib I converted into a pen, they only need 1 square foot for bird so they don't take up much room. They grow fast, they hatch in 17-18 days, start laying at 6-8 weeks, and are ready to process at that time too. They make neat little noises too. Can't wait until mine are big enough so I can hear what a quail's crow sounds like.

I didn't know they crowed, thats cool, every once in a while in the summer we get to hear bob white, but since were so wooded we never get to see them. Yeah I guess they would make a teasty treat for something passing through. I hope Qj 's new chicks are doing good.

I wanted to get some button quail but they said my ducks would smash them they are so small.
 
Hey Peeps! 2 out of the 3 that hatched last night are doing awesome! The one little guy who had the sticky stuff on him isn't doing so hot. I still have him in the bator. What do you think could have caused the sticky substance on him? I've never seen anything like it! It looks like crystalized sugar. That's the best way I can describe it.
 
Since this seems to be the random rambling thread of the duck world, I figured I drop an update picture of Nothing(marley) for duckgirl89.

I think his ego has grown to match his chest since he has arrived

I figure if he tries to puff that thing out anymore he will explode into a cloud of feathers...
 
SM, I hope you are able to get your surgery, it sounds like you have a real problem going on. If you have gangrene, shouldn't the doctors deal with that immediately? So sorry to hear of your problems.

Here's a warm fuzzy to cheer you up from a couple of years ago:

QJ I read someone else that posted this happening with their chick but could not tell you what they said or did, maybe you could custom search and find an answer, I hope you can help it, sounds strange. Did you post in the Emergency/desease section might get an answer or remedy. Congrats on new chicks.
