Lonely baby button quail

[reptilesam89]

Hi, I have a baby button quail that just hatched and no other eggs hatched. It's very lonely and keeps calling for a mother and when I put my hand near it it goes under it. It's running around and won't rest because it's trying to find a mother, anyone know how to help it?

I've seen people use a feather duster (clean and unused) to help with the lonely chick.The chick can snuggle among the feather and feel a bit more secure. A mirror may also help. Ho.efully you can get more chicks to keep it company.

I put a feather duster in a couple hours ago and it slept for a bit but now it's back calling and running around again, I'll try a mirror

And I have a few more eggs hatching in a few days aswell so hopefully they hatch and it gets some company

Being active is a good thing. Make sure he's warm enough but not too warm.

Yeah but the thing is it's almost killing its self from exhaustion, it slept again last night which is good, thanks for the help!
