Something for chicks to snuggle (not feather duster!!)

[GreedySeedFeedy]

Hello. I've got a batch of coturnix chicks internally pipped and about to pop. My question is, what can I give them to use as a comfort item when I'm too busy sleeping or showering to be with them?

Normally I just use a teddy bear under their heat lamp, but they always seem to be endlessly trying to find a comfortable way to 'wedge' themselves in the way they fit tightly between a parent's wing and body with their heads poking out.

Does anyone have any links to or ideas for a way to craft them some sort of soft structure that they can wedge themselves into this way?? Love from Finland!

I once used a parrot snuggly for freshly hatched quail...

I believe it was one of these... https://www.google.com/shopping/pro...ds=epd:10325348465257854024,cdl:1,prmr:3,cs:1

Oh my gosh the little darlings! Thank you so much for sharing your adorable pictures. I have some sort of same material, maybe I can fold it up for them or put it between some rice bags so they can squeeze in.

Any soft material will do, fuzzier the better!
