    help!! family disagreeing on how to handle quail

    it's fine, it's kind of just an Asian thing i guess. anyways my step mom told me that my dad IS planning on getting a heat lamp which means he is listening to me but he didn't actually tell me himself so i guess he doesn't want to admit he was wrong. he built an outside area for the quail chick...

    help!! family disagreeing on how to handle quail

    thank you for the reply. my dad told me that he watched a lot of YouTube videos and the people in the videos said that 3 days in the brooder was fine. he also said that the lid of their incubators had water condensed on it just like ours, meaning that they had super high humidity just like ours...

    help!! family disagreeing on how to handle quail

    hi guys, i previously posted a thread concerning our first quail hatching experience. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/help-first-time-quail-owner-with-1-chick.1182248/ so i never mentioned that my dad was on vacation the entire time and he was the one who did his research beforehand...

    help!! first-time quail owner with 1 chick

    thanks for the reply! i will try the hen hut idea, but my heating pad is very large (it covers the entire bottom of the box) but i'll see if i can do something to get heat from above. the hiccuping doesn't seem to be the same as the one described in the thread, but it's alright because he...

    help!! first-time quail owner with 1 chick

    if a part of the box is too warm or too cold, the chick should relocate on its own, right? one end of the box is 99 degrees and the other end is 95 degrees. it's 3 days old but still stays at the 99 side. is this bad? and will the chick drink water of its own accord? i've had to dip it's beak...

    help!! first-time quail owner with 1 chick

    thank you so much for the replies. the yellow one died so it is just the brown one now. i told my parents about getting a heat lamp, especially because they just ordered 100 more eggs so i guess we're not stopping anytime soon, but they keep saying that this one quail doesn't matter and they...

    help!! first-time quail owner with 1 chick

    thank you. i actually don't have a heat lamp. should i turn down the heater a bit? or remove the heating pad? i'm afraid that they might get too cold inside because that's what happened yesterday and killed most of them (with only the heater, no heating pad). what temperature should they be at...

    help!! first-time quail owner with 1 chick
