Quail are not OT in case anyone would like to know. :) I wouldn't put my quail with my chickens, quail are much smaller.

I was going to close in the pair so that the hen wouldn't be aloneâ€"he's been aggressive about protcting the nest, but I guess that's not necessary? Later, I'll need to do something to keep the chicks inside the cage, if any hatch. Is it 23 days from the lay date or the incubation date? I keep thinking of Cathryn and the popcorn metaphor. :
