We keep our three Coturnix quails in a cage outside (49"*36"*36"), we use hay for warmth (although I am wondering how am I ever going to find eggs in all that hay?) My friends suggests that I should add even more hay to keep them warm. The temperature is dropping to 20F-29F at night and is in the 40s-50sF during the day, do we need to cover the whole cage with the tarp? if not, at what temperature do they need cover? do they need additional cover during rain (we have a roof and two sides covered)?
I do not have a lamp or a heater. I live in Northern Alabama.
Here is a cage we fixed today (our first cage ever). Back side, left side, and half on the front are covered with tarp:
