Hi all, my name is Penny and I'm new to raising quail. Actually I wasn't planning on it initially. I got 30 quail last Fall to train my bird dogs but after the season I still had some left and well, each step I took to care for them lead me to where I am now. I build a flight pen based on instructions I found at
http://www.quailranch-ok.com/ And much to my surprise they started laying eggs and I thought I'd go ahead and incubate them and see what happens. Well I've now got about 50 chicks of various ages/sizes. I have the babies is pens inside the house, then older chicks in a pen in an outbuilding (protected from the weather) but I'm needing to eventually move them all to the flight pen (measures 12' x 16' x 8' (H) ). Am I going to have problems with the adults accepting the new arrivals? What can I do to make this work? The number of adults in the flight pen now are 6 males and 6 females.
