what are you using to feed them? mine was born before yours and only a couple are that size and have wings

they get fed gamebird crumble and calcium. mine are all getting there wing feathers! i cant belive how well cuddly my babies are everyday they all fight to be held and as soon as i pick them up they fall asleep

im hoping if i keep up with the holding and cuddling they will atleast be tolerant of it into adult hood. i hate to say it but im honestly thinking about keeping everybody

Here is a pic about 2 days old. Lots of different colors. Any ideas?

Better pic of the colors. Had one chick drown in the bator. I 've been having trouble getting the wire to lay flat and two chicks got under the wire. I couldn't beleive it. I got to one just in time. I also had one with really bad twisted toes. I learn something evertime I hatch out birds.

Yeah, I hope so. I really like the Cinnamon color quail. I hope there are some in the batch.
