Day Old Japanese Quail Chicks In Brooder

Here are the nine farmingfriends http://www.farmingfriends.com day old japanese quail chicks in the brooder. The chicks are a couple of days old and they were moved to the brooder after they were 24 hours old. They have a drinker with warm water and marbles in the drinker to prevent them getting their head immersed in the water. They are eating chick crumbs and have a heat lamp to keep them warm. they are on a bed of straw and carpet to stop them getting splayed legs and getting a draught. The chicks are enjoying chasing around the brooder and eating the chick crumbs.

Hi nurmeg,

Quail chicks eat chick crumbs or turkey crumbs, although you can actually buy quail feed from certain farm suppliers or from ebay.

Kind regards
