coturnix chicks

[JDquail]

I should be getting my first batch of chicks tomorrow or Wednesday! The ad says 2-10 day old chicks. I am planning on using a Rubbermaid brooder. I have looked over a good bit of info here but any last minute advice ya'll might would be helpful.

Have it on and know what temperature you'e holding before you get your birds.

 

[JDquail]

will do. As for temp should I be looking for 95°f or 100°f

Incubate at 100* brood at 95*, decrease temp by 5* per week.

Thank you! I am getting 95* under the light and 78* on the cool end. Should I get the cool end closer to 70?
