Coturnix Quail Basics
Brooding
Young quail chicks require heat until fully feathered. Typically they are kept in a “brooder”, which is basically a box with some sort of heat supply (heat plate/bulb). The heat source can be gradually raised until they no longer need it, this depends on the season. In the warmer months 3-4 weeks is sufficient. Water and feed is also required. A high protein (26%-30%) feed is best for young quail. You may find that it’s best to grind it up for the first week or so pending the size of feed you have. Clean water available at all times is also necessary. There are quail specific waterers in the market, but a regular chicken waterer will work also. If using a chicken water feeder, place marbles/stones inside so that the small quail chicks can’t go inside and drown. You’ll need a substrate in the bottom of your brooder, paper towel or puppy pee pads are best for the first week, wood shavings are ideal after. They are inexpensive and readily available. DO NOT use newspaper, it’s slippery and it will cause leg problems. After your birds are feathered they can be moved from the brooder to their permanent cage or aviary.
