Welcome.

Can you get a thermometer and tell us exactly how hot it is in your brooder?

Yeah it’s 30 degrees

Thank you

There 4 days not week, sorry if I put week in be put the light higher they only seem to do it when they are tired I’ve just checked them there all running around happy and giddy. One is so chirpy and always seems to want me. I take it out and put her on the floor in my living room and whistle she copies me and snuggles into me. I thought they were shy and didn’t like human contact.

No panting the older quails did and we changed to a 60w.

The hatching was an ordeal the power went of during hatching for hours, they pipped on Thursday and by Sunday they were worn out I lost 2, 2 pipped the wrong way and tried hatching to early they didn’t make and the last 4 got shrink wrapped I had to hatch them it took about 10 hours slowly and carefully removing bits of shell. I was so happy. This is meant to be my 12 year old boys hobby for his aviary when we move but I’m just mesmerised by it. Think I’m addicted and I’ve fallen in love with quails so far they are really friendly and have great characters (the older ones).
