    After my button quail chicks hatch then what do i do??

    Speak for yourself, I have raised hundreds of them with the way I have just outlined. Which is 95% identical to the way you do it if you actually read all the posts. So don't be so quick to publicly post on a thread that everyone who has posted advice is no good. Especially when there is a new...

    After my button quail chicks hatch then what do i do??

    if it's only been a couple days, just leave them. This is when they are most sensitive. I know it's hard to wait but you just have to have patience :D What is your temperature and humidity at?

    After my button quail chicks hatch then what do i do??

    It's not uncommon for them to get excited about brooding at first but then get bored of it after a couple of hours.

    Oh I forgot to mention, pine pellets for pellet stoves also work (I don't like them much for bedding personally because they are so hard and the birds can't scratch and have fun in it - but there's nothing wrong with it per se - it makes great cat litter too!) and you can buy it really cheap by...

Adults should have shavings as bedding - hardwood shavings is best because it has the least allergens in...

    I'm not trying to sound like a jerk (especially since I worked at the pet store as a kid myself! LOL) but most of the people at the pet stores have never raised poultry let alone quail and really have no idea what they are talking about. I have had half a dozen lamps going in my house over...

    I have heared of people trying to use reptile rocks and nothing good comes from it. For starters, they are expensive as hell, especially if you are going to use them only once. They do not have any way that you can adjust the temperature.Same goes for heating pads. Button quail have very...
