button quail chick question..

[Toddandsarah]

My mama quail has been sitting on 5 eggs,this morning I saw one hatched! She is very protective of the chick and eggs and appears to be taking care of the chick so with that in mind do I need to do anything special for the chick? Ground food? new water dish? Heat lamp?

I don't put out special feeders for my chicks (chickens), their mamas pull feed from the feeder for them, I don't think quail would be any different, but I've never had any hatch their own chicks, so I don't know for sure. You will need to make sure they have a shallow water source to drink out of though.

Good luck!
