  2. Well how many eggs are you incubating?

    A Mini Dome or Chick Bator incubator is only about $18.00.

    They dont get much cheaper.

    They incubate I believe 8 quail ( I think ).

    I know you said no Ebay.

    But this is one for a really great price, and its a really good incubator.

    Hey, I found my incubator that I hatched my beloved ducklings on Ebay.

  3. n BABY QUAIL & KILLDEER  

    Quail & killdeer are precocial--eating on their own soon after hatching, as chickens do.  Refer to Baby Bird Descriptions.  They do not gape.  Do not force feed.  Do not provide a dish of water.  You may dip your finger in water and touch it to the very tip of the chick’s beak.



    Use only cloth towels--not paper towels, as they may peck at and eat the paper.  Quail & killdeer chicks can run and jump as soon as they dry from hatching; therefore, they can jump from your hand and injure themselves--be careful to place them into a container deep enough to prevent their escape.  Provide heat and maintain a temperature of 90°.



    ¨        hard-boiled egg, finely crushed

    ¨        bird seed, finely crushed

    ¨        corn flakes, finely crushed

    ¨        broccoli flowerets

    ¨        mealworms, very small

    ¨        small wedge of watermelon* (about 1/2” thick)



    Offer one or more of the above, sprinkled in front of the chick.  *Try sprinkling food on the watermelon slice.  Tap the food with your finger in a “pecking” motion which may encourage the baby to peck.

    here are some homemade incubator sights............
