I know right? I wanted a & m's so I could get tuxedoes, but now I think I just want jumbo browns. I want a color I can tell the boys and girls apart with. I see all the time about people buying quail chicks from the feedstore, but I've never seen them there. I need to get up and go to the gardner auction tomorrow, but I'm scared of what else I might come home with.
Maybe they got sat on wrong and smashed? Is it cold enough if they wandered away from momma they could get chilled? I really don't know. Usually when I lose babies it's from them finding somewhere to drown themselves or they get stuck away from momma and freeze or get pecked by someone.
They have no way of getting to the "outside coop" It was chilly here and they could easily slip out through the chicken wire I have up so I made them unable to go out. Momma was outside for a while this morning, but I have a 250 watt red heat lamp over the nest for them to stay warm.
