I read somewhere where you swap out bantum eggs with quail eggs and they raise them as their own. Haven't got a change to try it myself yet.

I cover it in a towel and haul it home. Got it under a light to keep warm but I believe it came into the world a little to soon. It is moving a little and will open it eyes some. So here the Q. I got some bantams and one been trying to set for about two weeks or so. Do you think if the little guy comes around that the bantam may take it. Be cool if it would make it. I'm so excited about being a new father again. Me and my son Butterball. I can see us now riding around together killin egg eating coons and eating corn on the cob.
I'd let her settle on a nest and slip the poult under her at night. Some hens will adopt and some won't, but I think there's a better chance if it shows up while she is asleep; birds wake up to a brand new world every day and by morning it will have some of her smell on it.


I've been told this is the only way to attempt it. Pairing poultry during the day tends not to end well.

UPDATE: Butterball funeral service will be held after breakfast this morning. He was a good bird but just seem not to be able to handle life little pressures very well.
