Hi everyone, this is my first post on here because I need some insight from someone more experienced than me in this "field".
I have two button quails (male and female), they are now a little over two years old, but just about 6 days ago the female became broody.
She kind of tried in the past but just for a day and then stopped completely, but now as I said before she's been broody for 6 days straight and I'm starting to wander if she'll really hatch something.
So I wanted to ask you guys what should I do.
Should I leave the chicks inside the cage with the two adults?
Should I take them out when they hatch (if they do)?
Or should I just take the eggs out and put them in the incubator for the remaining time?
I must say that I would feel really guilty taking away either the chicks or the eggs seeing how much she's committing for the first time but I want to know what you think.
Thank you for any response
