Surprise Baby Quail? need help

[Lanky]

So i have a small group of 3 quail a male and 2 girls and i used for egg laying for my lizards and with all the chaos going on i having been taking the eggs. So i now have 6 babys and i got really no idea what to with them. Mom is sticking to them like glue. i Remove her and clutch of eggs and baby away from the other quail. What steps do i need to do now?

Why do you seperate the broody hen from the chicks?

Edit: ... or did you seperate mom AND chicks from the flock?

Mom and chicks and her clutch eggs are all moved as unit

What kind of quail? There's probably not much you need to do except keep an eye on them to make sure that mom doesn't abandon them. If that happens you'll need to provide heat and crushed food. Crushed food is probably a good idea regardless so it's small enough for the chicks to eat.

Congrats on your broody hen! They're great fun. Make sure you provide them with chick starter and clean water (shallow water, otherwise the chicks will drown). The mum will pretty much do most of it, but do keep an eye on them just in case.
