Help!! Baby Chinese quail

[Mark.k]

Hey guys was just looking for some advice asap.
I have an avairy full of Diffrent finches canarys etc and quail

One of my quail has been sitting for well over a month now so I decided the eggs must be duds and went to grab them out. They were cold etc.

I cracked on to see what was going on.... now I have a baby quail which is still alive ... what do u do?

Set up a brooder with a heat lamp or even just a 60 watt bulb if in the house. and see if any others are hatching. Give it fine gamebird starter feed and water in a shallow waterer. One by itself is never happy. Good luck.

Ok thank you for your reply
I don't think it's going to live are they meant to be standing up or anything also it had some kind of yolksac attached?

Ooh, looks like maybe not done incubating. Do you have an incubator? @Teila , any advice?

No sorry I don't. I typically just have the birds in the avairy.

Yeah, it is a preemie for sure.

These are young baby quail. Are yours Coturnix or buttons?

About the only option is to put it down, i don't think it will survive. Sorry.
