How to raise a tame Coturnix Quail in 10 steps!

My issue with this is the idea of forcing this situation to happen, rather than the misfortune of rescuing a lonely chick who is parentless or its hatchmates didn't hatch or survive. There are other ways to bond with Quail that are built on trust and respect, and choice.

Forcing a bond by weilding loneliness and a lack of options as the basis for the relationship isn't a method i would recommend seeking out. And the idea of removing viable eggs to purposefully raise a flock animal in isolation is rather horrifying. It shows you are more concerned about human convenience of the animal in service to you, rather than interest in the wellbeing of the Quail you want a relationship with. Birds should be allowed to be birds, and learn from birds.

You do not have to have an animal "bond" to you via the child/parent imprinting to have a relationship with them. A viable option is to find a reputable breeder who has been their quail for temperament as well as other qualities, and work on building trust. Aviary environments seem to be very beneficial to that.

Don't take developing eggs out of incubation to kill them, that's not nice at all. If you want to do 1 at a time then try incubating one at a time and checking them on day 3. I really don't like the thought of raising 1 at a time.

Helpful. Thank you.

I don't usually leave low ratings, but this seems unnecessarily cruel. While I get that there are good intentions, raising just one quail (or for that matter, any poultry type) is cruel. Also disposing of other eggs that are developing seems really, really inhumane, as you brought them into the world, then crush their lives, purposefully.

I'm assuming you weren't wanting the article to come across as that way, but it cruel.

Too much information is inaccurate and could actually be harmful for the quail. However, I did enjoy most of the article.

If you see eggs developing, do not “remove all except just one fertile egg”.
This is killing the embryos.

Also, as already mentioned, raising one lone chick is not a good idea.

Raising a lone chick is cruel. You are forcing the chick to come to you. A human is not a quail, and cannot be with the chick full time. Try a pair of quail instead.

A bit of the info in this article is incorrect, such as "you should only keep female quail together, never a male and a female".

Enjoyed the read but keeping a lone bird does concern me. Unfortunately non of my quail are particularly friendly even with regular handling.
