To cold for button quail?

[Andkingquail]

Since i keep button quail outside inside a shed would they be fine if I removed their heating plate? Would they be warm enough for them in a shed? Our weather rarely goes below 32 f. Do you think they would be fine without extra heat? They are fully feathered adult button quail.

Anything below 50 f is too cold

What if the shed
is insulated? And warmer than outside?

You could get a thermostat and see the temp in the shed. Why not just leave the heat on for them?

Because i have several enclosures for the button quail but only one heat plate so I have to put all of them cramed into one enclosure with the heat plate.

You could get a small plug in heater too. If the sheds insulated it'll hold the heat

Can you show me a picture of one online I'm not sure how they look like.

This is one of many. You can Google "small space heater" and find one that fits your budget a bit.

Also I see you post about quail a lot. Do you have a thread that just keeps updates on them? I have button quail as well and I'm interested in seeing how other people are doing with them

I read on here somewhere that space heaters put out toxic fumes that are dangerous for quail. Not sure about that. I’d like more information.
