Did others NYD chicks hatch early? Mine were out tonight earlier, well some of them including the Japanese feral quail, now that Madamwlf as me completely freaked out scout them, I'm thinking of smacking thm on the head with a hammer.
If you put the quail under red light you will be ok. Mine ate each other before anyone told me what to do. They turned on those who were not their kind first and then turned on each other.
