Hi everyone!
so we are owners to six lovely hens mostly a bantam breed flock. We also have a cat who’s instincts are a little strong unfortunately. We have wild California quail (We are in west coast Canada) who often come join our flock when the hens are out. Recently the California quail has laid a nest of eggs in a bucket of wood and two (ish?) Weeks in to incubating her nest our cat chased her off and she never returned we left the eggs for five days (we didn’t know she had eggs there it was discovered on day five) we haven’t seen her since. Us being the animal loving type picked up the eggs and put them under our broody serama hen. We then moved them into the incubator. We candles them and they have developed. But we are unsure about hatching quails and can’t find a lot of information online. What do they eat ? what humidity do they need? What week are they on ( from candling they look like end of mid week two as far as chicken progress goes) ? Honestly just looking for support.
