Quails need to be cared for very carefully during the chick season because they are unable to regulate body temperature until the feathers are fully developed.

Therefore, artificial heat must be used for this purpose. 125 quail chicks can be reared in a three foot diameter circular brooder system. If 100 chicks are to be kept inside, 20 watt conical bulb or white colored bulbs should be hung 10 to 12 inches above the ground.

The first day chicks need a temperature of 37 degrees centigrade. This heat should be gradually reduced according to the growth of the chicks. It is necessary to reduce the rate to three degrees centigrade once in four days. That is why every. brooder should maintain the chicks at the right level.
