Becoming Momma Bird, Teaching Baby Quail how to eat and drink.

[@curiouslass4280]

Thank you! I just had a wild mom Quail hatch 12 chicks in my yard! I have been in heaven watching them running around my yard the last few days. I put a very shallow pan of water out for them and they love it!!

[@lisawearmouth5267]

A baby quail came right up to our back door last night during the fireworks ( i'm guessing the noise scared them). It looked like it was newly hatched. I put it in a box with a heating pad on low and covered the pad with a towel and some baby chick crumble and a lid with some water in it. He wouldn't eat or drink then I watched your video and tried what you did. It worked like a charm! Thank-you!

[@lifeinthailand]

Awesome, glad it helped.

[@lyndacompton1846]

Thank you love to see little Baby Animals and your care for them

[@lifeinthailand]

Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@avedafaye1366]

I don’t know if you remember my mentioning ages ago that we do this, but my partner and I still meme you around the house all the time! Especially the “okay, guys” 😹 especially to the animals 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@lifeinthailand]

I do remember you tell me that...lol

[@onlyintime9914]

Yes. .... Tap with finger at food so they learn to eat. Dip their beak in water. You can feed them non medicated chick starter. Take their water away at night so they do not drown

[@mattknowles6910]

It worked with a quail hatchling we found in the road. It wouldn’t drink until we gently dipped its beak it water. Thanks!

[@LesleyHutchinson-kp2ye]

Very simple way you teach them. Awesome

[@dantecifelli4550]

glad to see the return of quail videos.

[@lifeinthailand]

It has been a long time since I did a quail video.

[@ileardgz7691]

Many thanks, been searching for "quail cage plans" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Eeyila Rudimentary Expediency - (do a search on google ) ? It is a great one of a kind product for discovering how to raise healthy and fertile quail minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate got great results with it.

[@sadakmiah30]

thank you so much

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

Wow eggs in 6 weeks. That is fast. Cute little fellers. Best wishes Bob.

[@lifeinthailand]

In the right season they can be laying eggs in 6 weeks, there a very fast turnaround, and super cute when there his small.

[@yvonnekoedood4611]

thanks Paul for the sweet baby you show us

[@lifeinthailand]

Glad you liked the babies.

[@McDowallManor]

I use chic starter too mate. I agree about the water issue. I've not tried teaching them to drink. Mine seem to do it but jeez the drowning issue was a problem until I worked it out. Good clip.

[@lifeinthailand]

It takes time to figure out what works best for you, I have had baby turkeys drown as well.

[@tanyacreedon]

How cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@lifeinthailand]

They sure are cool, thanks for having a look.

[@jackhill8246]

How cool was that!!!

[@lifeinthailand]

They sure a fun little things.

[@missyrabbit5250]

we had the worst luck with our recent hatch. They were late, many were stuck in egg and we had to break them out (humidity reading 65%) . We only put a tiny bit of water in a plastic lid, barely enough to be wet, and several still managed to drown themselves. All of our past hatches were 90% hatch and we would only lose 1 or 2. Really bad luck this time. They seem to have a suicide pact going on. Oh, forgot to mention, several managed to wiggle themselves under the brooder tray and die. We have used this brood multiple times with no problems. Is very frustrating

[@JohnBare747]

Those little guys are cute as hell.

[@lifeinthailand]

Indeed they are.

[@qualqui]

lol....Momma Paul teaching her li'l peanuts to eat food and drink water! And the li'l quail chicks didn't let ya down, true to what you told us that they ALWAYS go for a swim! XD

[@lifeinthailand]

They love the water, in a very bad way...lol

[@drsvs]

Thank you for this video. I found a single abandoned baby quail today. It’s sleeping now. In the morning I’ll try to get it to eat and drink. If I am lucky enough to help it survive, how old should it be before I release it?

[@lifeinthailand]

I would release it as soon as it is strong enough to go, if it can run it can go. I would put it somewhere in tall grass or bushes, somewhere it would normally hide and feel safe. I would not worry as much about feeding it, as I would about it drinking water. I have resuced many young birds, if not injured, they normally just need somewhere safe to rest and get it strength back.

[@kellyoconnor7896]

I breed coturnix jumbo quail. They need at least 23% gamebird feed. I feed mine 28%. They lay more eggs and larger. I have read that they can do ok on low protein but I only feed high protein so I know they get what they need.

[@ryleigh1539]

Thank you I found a baby quail and I didn’t know what to do and feed it

[@uniquepetsworld]

So cute ❤🐣🐥❤

[@lifeinthailand]

Yes they are.

[@GinaSiska]

I was like, oh my gosh Paul you just set the waterer on the quail 😱 you squashed ur little peanut, lol!! My neighbor’s daughter hatched out some quail and when they were old enough put them outside in a cage. Well we have big red-tail hawks and it was like ringing the dinner bell...no more quail but a fat happy hawk....

[@lifeinthailand]

P[eople who don't think about preditors or under estimate them, end up having a bad day.

[@caitlinrose8300]

I saw him do that too and I was panicking. Luckily it didn't take to long for him to realize one was missing. Phew.

[@kevinwilson510]

Love these videos

[@lifeinthailand]

Glad you like them.

[@LatinDanceVideos]

I feel there must be a better food and water system for newborn chicks. Mine just make a mess on everything, get wet (even with the gravel). Lost 3 out of 9 in my first hatch.

[@lanceburton2486]

Sure looks like fun

[@lifeinthailand]

They are fun...lol

[@Papa_Smurf_bug-monster]

thankd

[@SouthpawDavey]

But can you teach them to fetch a beer ;-) Wont be long now and I will be training some myself. I have never had a swimmer as yet..

[@lifeinthailand]

I should give that a try, that would be a good video.

[@nazmulalambiswas2237]

Excellent

[@yrusonoz5574]

Ok....I got one that just randomly showed up in my yard....I have the food training idea you said but what do I with this one guy/girl I have as far as it not being lonely....stuffed animal birds maybe?

[@matthewgawron3851]

In the beginning the guy sounds like Dr doofenshmirtz

[@nimadaneshvar9404]

Do you think humming birds feeder isn't better option for baby quils because they never get serious drowning than usual chickens watersystem thanks

[@shrikanwarpanwar]

Very helpful ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️😸

[@mg-jj1kg]
