This was my first time incubating quail eggs, I am a newbie to quail so I need some help. I set 30, and 25 made it to lockdown. They aren't supposed to hatch until tomorrow, but there are six already hatched and more hatching right now. I'ts too late to go to the feed store and buy game bird starter, so will they be okay until tomorrow? I know chicks can live 2-3 days off yolk reserves, but I don't know that much about quail.
I consider myself a chicken expert, I've many of them ever since I was a kid, so what needs to be in the brooder that is different from chicken chicks to quail chicks? smaller feeders & waterers? More heat? I've also heard about putting ground dog food or cat food in their fed for higher protein, so any thoughts or advice on that?Thanks.
