Hello all,

I saw something truly strange today, one of my painted hens sitting on some quail eggs on the ground. Has anyone else ever seen this?

I removed the eggs as they mother quail wasn't paying them any attention.

NO but one of my quail hens sat on two painted chicks that left the nest early.....odd relationship they must have
