I just bought 5 courtix quails last night and I woke up to find them all dead. What did I do wrong? I put them under a heat lamp in my backyard inside the coop I bought them and when I woke up to check them out, they were all huddled together dead.
 
Very sorry for your loss. How close was the heat lamp? What was the outside temp? Were they open to wind, etc.?


I put it about 6 inches above their heads. The temperature was aroung 65 degrees and there wasn't any wind
 
White or red bulb?

5 day old quail need to be kept around 95 degrees for the first week, lowering the temp by 5 degrees each week till 6 weeks. Use a thermometer next time to accurately check the temp under and around the brooding area.
