1. Preheat the Brooder:
•Set up the brooder with a heat lamp or brooder plate at 95°F. Ensure the area is warm and ready for the chicks before moving them.
2. Prepare Bedding:
•Line the brooder with puppy pads for easy cleanup and a non-slip surface.
3. Transfer Chicks Gently:
•Carefully lift each chick and place them in the brooder. Be gentle to avoid stressing the chicks.
4. Provide Food and Water:
•Set up shallow feeders with high-protein quail starter feed and shallow waterers. Add small stones to the waterer to prevent drowning.
5. Monitor Chicks:
•Watch the chicks to ensure they’re settling in, eating, and drinking. Adjust the heat source as needed to maintain comfort.
