3 day old quails trying to scratch bottom

Ufa and co-op.

Pet stores not usually, or it's really expensive. You buy big bags much cheaper at a farm store.

I live in Ontario. the closest UFA store is way in Alberta and when I searched up co-op it wasn't even a farm store.

again, would baked and sifted dirt work as grit?

I found "the feed store" maybe try looking that up for location near you.

also, some of the chicks are still trying to scratch their bottoms. is that a result of the liquid poop?

I used gravel for walks. Nothing added, ie. no salt added

Are their bottoms messy from the liquidy poops?

If you can't get the right food at a brick and mortar store I'd just order it online. If they were my babies I'd order the one I linked you and some actual chick grit.

Do you have a bigger brooder for them when they're a few weeks old? That box looks really small.

Also, do you have facilities prepared for them for when they are adults?
