    Releasing Quail Chicks to Corturnix Couple hanging around

    Oh and I found a nest in my tall patio pot and watched the egg count and after 8 days and no change and no mother sitting there I feared it was abandoned so I got an incubator. I truly thought none would even hatch after so long and our high temps in AZ.

    Releasing Quail Chicks to Corturnix Couple hanging around

    Thank you for your reply. They are Coturnix and I will take them to the rescue. I do not want them to die. I’ve been nurturing them to live!

    Releasing Quail Chicks to Corturnix Couple hanging around

    If I were to put the chicks outside at 4 weeks would another adult quail couple hanging around adopt them? Is there a better place to release them than a rescue?

    Brooder temp for chicks is steady at 90-95

    I live in Arizona. I have 13 chicks, 2.5 week old coturnix are in my garage. I’ve taken out the heating plate as without it due to the hot weather the brooder temp is at lowest 85 at night and 90-95 by day. Is this ok! If they need to learn lower temps I’d need to bring them inside the house...

    Baby Quails Hatched, brooder size?

    I’m in Arizona, chicks are 2 weeks old now, there’s no way to have their temps below 85-90 degrees. Do I need to bring them into the house?

    Quail cage enrichment

    Invalid can not be used affectionately. If you have only one in the hutch that’s mean too. They are social birds and you should take her to a rescue.

    Quail cage enrichment

    How many quail do you have? I used a Tupperware same size so it was easy to attach the wire top.

    Baby Quails Hatched, brooder size?

    How big does my brooder need to be for 13 quail chicks, and as they get bigger in the 4 weeks will it be big enough? I have this, Also can I get the temp higher? it’s at 85%, with the heater on? The open lid lets heat out. The room isn’t cold either. 76%.

    Day 21 Not Hatched

    My incubator is on day 21, I see slight wobbly movement of 3 of 14 eggs for 2 days. Is that a good sign or bad like they can’t break out? I’m worried as it’s late for them! They are Gambel Quail.
