Japaneese Quails - New Babies Born today! NZ

[Michelle12345]

Hi everyone
I am from New Zealand and it is end of summer here. My female quail has been sitting on eggs for some 3 weeks now so I put up a fence to separate here from the other 5 quails in the flock.
This morning she has 4 babies sitting under her with more eggs in the nest.
I have put marbles in the water to stop the little ones drowning and have spread some chick starter around the place.
If anyone has any advice or comments it would be appreciated!!
thanks
Michelle

You may want to crosspost this in the quail section under other fowl. I am going to hatch coturnix eggs starting next week! Really excited about it too!
