how to hatch quail eggs with a broody chicken??

[kristinahart]

Can quail hatchlings survive without the mom? I was just rough about 2 dozen quail eggs that were in my air unit that are hatching as we speak? I don't know what to do. I have them under a light right now.

Keep them under a heat lamp for 3 weeks. First week at 95 F, reduce by 5 degrees every week. Yes they can survive without mom, they are not being breastfed after all

Breast fed!!!!!

My goofy chicks are in an open cardboard box under a heating pad. I'm amazed how well it works! Still have chicks hatching at 22 days. This is wild! They are going to look like 2 different hatches considering some are 5 days old now! I went almost 36 hours without a single pip, now I have 2 more in the bator!
