Transporting 1wk old bobwhite quail

[Pgrine]

I have someone picking up 10, 1wk old bobwhite chicks. I am adding hand warmers in the transport box. Do I need a water source? They will be traveling for 2 1/2 hours. If so how do I add water to the box without it spilling and making them all wet?

They will be fine without water for 2 1/2 hours. If you really feel the need to provide them water for a trip, you can add a piece of fruit that has a high water content such as a piece of watermelon.
