Second try at hatching quails! (This time I'm sharing the whole experience with you!)

Yeah, my bad I don't know how they are called so I used the first word that came to my mind lol, it's a regular chicken waterer, the water comes out gradually while they drink thanks to gravity and pressure the problem @aart is not the bedding as much as the food that they kick up (the feeder is near the waterer since I'm lacking space, fortunately I built this brooder so that I can connect multiple boxes to enlarge it as needed, illI add a second one once they are large enough to be able to go to a colder area, since the other box wouldn't be as warm as the one with the lamp on it , they seem to have calmed down a bit, so the waterer hasn't clogged up again in the past 6 hours thankfully I will try @Texas Kiki ''s method tomorrow when I feg back from school (2pm CET) meanwhile I'll just remove the junk when I see it

Add the extra box now and move the waterer into it.
It's actually better to keep the water away from any added heat.
Heat and water are perfect breeding grounds for coccidia.

You can cut out a container similar to the picture above to put feed in...so they have to stick their head in to eat but you have to watch they don't get in there and get stuck.

Do you have a regular chick feeder too.
Pics of both, please...but really, get the waterer up off the floor to keep it cleaner.
I put feed and water on tote lids.

Nope, I just have a dish for now, planning to switch soon though, as soon as they get a little bigger. Today I'll visit the store near my house and see what they have in stock

Oopsie, forgot to take the picture, will do it tomorrow lol, I have added the second box, and now everything seems to be alright again, I moved the water to the second box (25°C) and I left the feeder at its original place. I let them have some time for themselves so they could familiarize with the other box and now they are all eating and drinking.

Ok this time I took pictures lol, here we go @aart @Texas Kiki, one is the colder box with the waterers, the other is the heated one with just the feeder
