We had the same in sw Oklahoma in June. Triple digits came early. But Thus far in July has been bad. We got to 114 last week. 107 today. We sold our quail but to be safe for our chickens, we bought a small air conditioner for both coops. Never done that before! Stay safe folks and God bless!

I've lost quail due to heatstroke. One chicken passed. The rabbits are doing fine, But they suffer. (Belgium). I'm changing my whole system to account for coming heatwaves and flooding. To the drawing board!

Thanks for this advice. My wife was concerned that her button and meat quail were getting too hot so I installed a fan for ventilation. Like you we have had zero precipitation and it’s been near 110° here in talty texas many days in a row. Birds seem fine as you stated! Cheers!

I'm learning so much from all your videos I can absorb. 😊 Thanks

I’m in Arizona so I found this super helpful

I don't usually comment on things but I just wanted to tell you that your videos have helped us alot. Thank you.

North central Arkansas here; We have had the same heatwave and all my birds are fine. I do have an outdoor cage, on the ground, and covered on top. My quail just dirt bathe all day long to stay cool. Still laying fertile eggs and never skip a beat in the heat. Thanks Chris :)

Hi Chris I have quails for many years and I live in Arizona it’s very hot here and like you said quails handle the heat very good we have mist for them and we also add ice in the water fresh water every day and fresh sand every other day and their on the shade all the time thank you for your advice I love your channel

Hi, Chris! Here on the McAlester Quail Trail we have been seeing similar temperatures as you. While our birds are in an enclosed shed in Wynola cages, I have been leaving fans going and the window opened. I have also been putting out frozen bottles of ice twice a day and the birds cuddle right up to it. In my larger grow out cage I have taken butter bowls sealed shut with blue ice packets in it - the younger birds also are up against it a lot. Different strokes and all, but the ice seems to make our birds happy!

Thank you, Chris.

Commenting for the algorithm! This is a great video.

I'm one of those worry warts that takes frozen water bottles out to their cage in heat of day! And puts chunks of ice in the water container. And provides a shallow water dish for their 'foot baths" ! They love a foot bath!

Great video

Hi Chris, you are an amazing source of information, any possibility of you writing a book on quail, rabbits...?

Wow I'm so sorry... East TN. It's been in the 90's I run fans I use an extension cord and then I'm going to Fan outside for the ones out there I have a pc of metal resting on top of the cage to give them extra shade

What about air con and a tv thanks for all your help just starting out the cage will be finished in a cupola weeks thanks again from hot and humid sunny queens land Australian god bless you to .

Would you advise keeping quail in a rabbit hutch outside? I saw a few 2 story options that allow them to walk in the bare grass underneath. I'll try to share with you on Amazon.

Is there any foods I can feed to improve my quail egg quality?

I want to get quail what is the basic care for them, I have a garage, I can put Air conditioner in for them, we have hot and humidty up to 109 degrees. I have air conditioning for my rabbits. The bunny room is about 75 degrees. Is that the ideal temperature for the animals?

Lol my dog does that he's out there getting vitamin D 😆

I lost 2 quail today.😞 They're in the shade and have water continuously.😢
