How to Prepare Quails for Days Alone?

[Green Bean Quail]

My quails are five weeks old, and I am going to be leaving them for about three nights by themselves for a trip. If I stockpile their food and water, will I need to have anyone come feed or water them? I have neighbors that can do it but they have never raise quail so I’m hesitant to expose my quails to them. Will the quails be okay by themselves for that long as long as I have adequate food and water for them?

Start using a large gravity feeder and water now and get a feel for how long it will last. You can DIY them if needed. Check out my article on a 3 tier quail cage. I include some pictures and description of my DIY waterer and feeders.

Awesome! I’ll try that! Thanks!

I could leave for 1 week minimum with this setup for food and water.

If you get a 5 gallon bucket hooked up to some waterers, you should have plenty of water. Make sure they have 2 ounces of food per bird per day. You'll want the food to been in a waste free feeder.
