Proper Care of Quail Chicks

My thought on a question Leslie had on a post in The Urban Aviary Facebook Group about taking care of quail chicks. Below is a link to the chick waterer base that I mentioned.

    Hey Jaren, I just found your channel and watched almost all your videos. You've given me a lot of ideas for what I can do on a small scale urban farm. I'm definitely going to get some quail soon and get the space to grow microgreens. Hope to see some new videos soon, cheers! Blessings to your family.

    Keep the QUAILITY content going! It's good stuff. Please make a DIY Quail cage, similar to those you had in your older videos, thank you.

    How big of a tote do you think we should get if we only have 8 eggs? And how long does it usually take for eggs to hatch? We lost our last female last night to the racoon. I thought I had her barricaded pretty well so they couldnt get to her. Guess not. So.... on to the eggs. Hopefully being refrigerated won't bother them too much and we'll soon have some babies! Thank you for the video!

    I would get the big ones that are about $20 at Walmart. That way they have plenty of room all thr way to maturity. And then you have a spare housing option if you have an injured bird later. And you'll have space for them to get put from under the heat lamp as chicks. Look at my video "Cheap and Simple Brooder".

    Should their food be mixed with water and made into a mush for a little while or are they ok with the dry crumbles?

    Wait, you said crumbles. They need a mash. Crumbles are too big for them to eat. Getting them wet may help with crumbles but I've honestly never tried.

    Thank you so much! I'm talking about mash. People down here say crumbles and mash for the same thing. But I understand which one you mean. Sorry for the confusion 😜 lol

    I'll be honest, I'm not super familiar with Bobwhites. I would suspect they would do better in an aviary environment.

    A half a square foot per bird doesn't bother me a bit. I'll do more sometimes even.

    Hi. I've watched your videos and am ready to raise quail chicks. Where can I order them and get the chicks in the mail? I thought this would be simple but it's proving a challenge. Appreciate any help. Thanks!

    I've had thousands of eggs and I've never had that happen. and if it did I don't know that I'd be all that worried about it. Other than that mess and smell. If we let what ifs rule our life then we'd never get out of bed in the morning.
