So a quail nested in one of my Large terra cotta planters. Hatched 8 chicks like 5-6 days ago. 3 days ago they vacated the nest and we saw them in the front yard under a ramp we have. Have not seen them since. Yesterday and the day before I heard a chick chirping but could not figure out where it was coming from. So I have been watering my garden every night pretty heavy… and last night I spotted the chick in another pot near the one tbey nested in! Pretty bad shape as I have been watering it… seems to have a bum leg? IDK its maybe a week old… put it in an aquarium with some hides, clippings from the plant it hatched in, bamboo paper towels, and an infrared heat lamp (i have a snake so I have extra). I know not to force feed it, keep it warm, only provide small water so they don’t drown. Cut up some meal worms and hard boiled egg and set in there…. Going to get poppy seeds and the hand warmers to put in the aquarium. Been getting info from this http://www.seenature.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/If-you-find-a-baby-quail.pdf
