Hey!
So my ENTIRE life is a lie and my quails are not bobwhites like I ordered-somehow I got buttons. I know the temps vary slightly for button v. Bobwhite incubation so I’m hoping that did not cause my super low hatch rate.
They are two weeks now, but still don’t like any temp below 90. They’ll chase the heat lamp whenever I position it away from their hut (I was worried about overheating) yet when it’s at its normal position they like to all pile into their hut. Should I work harder on adjusting them to room temp? My basement is 60-70
