I'm a 1st time quail owner I went to buy a new chicken chicks and end up with 15 day old quail chicks so far four have died two I think from it being too hot an other two to cold I'm feel so bad I really want my quail to make it sure I get a ten day old quail chick from feed store to help with the baby chicks? Or what should I do

What is their brooder size/like? details you can think of....

 

[Hybridchucks]

if the brooder is big that is great but you MUST NOT have the brooder small as they cant get away from the heat......

how are they acting?

I have been trying to keep them at 84 degrees I put a sugar in the water for engery. But unfortunately here in Chicago the past couple days we have only hit a high of 74 and low of 55 degrees I have them in my garage and in a tote I will post pictures of the setup

I believe it a ten gallon tote

They are now finally looking full and digging and running when I put my hand in there but a couple of them demand to be held
