I cannot stand this anymore i put them in the brooder and my heart is dropping second after second in the brooder they dont peep they are JUMPING IN THE WATER! it looks like they need some chick to sit on em can i get my female quail for them? If so would it be possible it my first time with quails...

Quail are very vocal, chattering to each other, but if they are peeping loudly then it would indicate something is wrong. They may be too cold. Some like it warmer than the recommended temperature. Giving them a cloth to cuddle in could help too.

Like this.

Quail can easily drown in water, or get too wet and become too cold with no way to warm up. They need marbles in their water dish so that they can only access the water between the marbles, or I use caged bird waterers like this initially as they cannot get in them to get wet:


You must teach them to eat and drink by tapping the food and water.

I wouldn't put an adult quail in with them as it could get ugly in the blink of an eye. Quail don't like unfamiliar birds.

I second JaeG's post. Do not put them with an adult, the adult will maim or kill them.

This, just don't. Adult quail will severely hurt or even kill quail chicks that they didn't hatch theirselves. They are cheeping for a reason. Too cold, too hot, etc. You have to find out why.

I editied the brooder temp to 40 celcuis they are now eating and running happily
