I have 10 bobwhite quail (6 male and 4 female) I know the ratios of male/female are messed up but they live outside in 4 foot grasses and aren’t breeding this time of year. That being said, I need chicks to increase my breeding stock and brought 3 female and 1 male inside a cage in an unheated shed but I have a light on them. Will the low winter temps (in the north Midwest) prevent them from breeding even though I have a light on them? Also, any commercial brooder recommendations that maximize efficiency? Thanks!
