I took these chicks from mama hen tonight because she has a staggered bunch.. plus it's going to be chilly. I have this set up (see pictures) inside our summer dog pool. It worked for me last year, however, I didn't have the brooder & there were loads more chicks to help keep each other warm...
Obviously this time of year there will be less daylight and in FL we may have more sunlight but it's less around this time regardless.
My question is: What counts as sunlight for the quails?
I've read on here that quails need about 14 hours of sunlight each day to keep producing eggs...
I made a PowerPoint all about raising ducklings so I decided to share this information with you. I hope this helps any one with their setup and I'm open to any questions.
Supplies:
•Box/x-pen/kiddie pool
•Heat Lamp
•Thermometer
•Food
•Feeder
•Water Bowl
•Cookie Pan & Rack
•Bedding
Setup...

Tonight we're headed to the local...
