not a good idea. but if you have to . try putting the new birds in a cage and put the whole cage inside the pen for a while to get everyone acquainted and see how they react before releasing the newbies.

What he said, otherwise............guaranteed deaths. There are several threads on this on the forum. Try searching "mixing birds"...."different age", etc.  |

I can tll you from my personal experience two years ago. BBBAAAAD Idea to mix bobwhite. I enede up with a butch of dead birds! Even though I thought I was being sooo0 carful and watching their movements. They waited until after dark and then destroyed the younger birds, even though they were out numbered 3 to 1. Sneaky little critters !  However, with my coturnix it is a totally different story. They are much more tolerant of each other. Have mixed them several times and no problems..........so far. Good luck! |

It is not a pretty site, expecially with older and younger birds. They're like pihrana...

Angie, If you have several pens and you take the older birds and the younger birds and move them to a totally different pen at just about dark this usually works out o.k. thank ya Jim to that quail place |

Angie, Birddog's right. Put the young birds in a cage and put the cage inside the pen with the older birds in it. Wait about five to seven days and then you can release the young ones. I've done this a few times with not one dead bird. If you just dump them together without any getting used to each other time then you will lose all the young ones.

 geee i didnt know there was a limit to how much one could post maybe i should count yours too ....you might want to myob  and rude ...ps im a speed reader maybe you should try to sharpen YOUR skills i actually belong to 2 quail forums and read quite alot thank you ... im just trying to learn ..so if you have nothing nicer to say maybe you should keep it to yourself  i thought that was what this forum is for  i like the "mugs" ,by the way theyre called smileys, its the best way to express what your feeling...have you seen some of sliders smileys? |
