can i burn a scented candle in a room with quail chicks?

[bloodbiter]

the name pretty much sums up the entire question; i was just wondering if it would be harmful or not to burn a scented candle in the room with quail chicks. if it is, could i take the chicks out of said room, burn the scented candle, and move them back in?

They will probably be fine. Keep an eye on them, and if they start to look lethargic or breathing heavily, take them out.

That's an interesting question. I have a plug in wallflower scented air freshener. I've wondered if it irritates my chinchilla, but it doesn't seem too. I have chicks in the same room, it didn't occur to me to worry about them.

Theres an article I saw about some essences in candles that can harm dogs. Let me see if I can find it. It is a different species, but maybe the same smile chickens have sensitive respiratory systems too?

Can't you just not light the candle, if it poses a big enough risk for you to ask about it? Or do it in a different room?

Open a window?
Perhaps clean the brooder with some surface cleaner spay and stuff?
I guess it's a bit like deodorant to a smelly pit - it helps for a bit, but the solution is always to wash it.
