    Broody Hen's

    Brooder temp for quail

    Does anyone know what the temp in the brooder needs to be for quail? Right now my temp in the brooder is about 92-93 degrees. I can't get it to go any higher. If I use a red heat lamp it gets way to hot, but then my other brooder light doesn't get up to 99 degrees. Any suggestions?
