Question game bird raising question

I'm just curious.....can you raise two different species together (I'm thinking chukar & quail) if you hatch them out at roughly the same time? I know that as they get bigger, the larger birds will probably take over and monopolize feed, ect, but I trying to think of a way to conserve brooder space.
Thanks in advance...........

This is what I have learned the hard way. Do NOT but bob white quail with anyother species as the quail will Kill them. They would wipe my pheasants out as fast as I could put them together. "Never would have seen that coming".
They are a crazy little bird and fun to raise by themselves .

Yeah, you're right.....I never would have seen that one coming, either. Thanks for the heads up.
