Hello all!
I currently have 7 chickens and am looking into adding a few quail to our small hobby farm. I have purchased an incubator and a hygrometer, and we are going to repurpose a rabbit hutch for the quail when they are older. I just have a few questions that I am getting mixed signals on (in no particular order).

- What are the best ways to feed adult quail to limit waste without losing much floorspace?
- best feeders and waterers for newly hatched chicks?
- best starter feed? (I do know I will probably lightly grind it to limit choking)
- what temperature/humidity did you have the most successful hatch rate?
- what is the best bedding material and dust bath material?
- any other tips for a newbie?
