Water
Many producers overlook the importance of providing clean, fresh water to their flocks. Water, though not considered a nutrient by many producers, is the most important nutrient for animals. Like all farm animals, game birds need clean water at all times. Drinking water must not get too hot or cold, or the birds will not drink it.
Clean the water troughs and replace with fresh water at least once daily. You must keep water and feed troughs clean from droppings, litter, soil and other contaminants.
Keep feed troughs clean and dry. Place them so the feed stays dry. Empty the feed troughs at least two or three times weekly (daily if necessary) and refill with dry, fresh feed. Do not wash feed troughs unless they are excessively contaminated with wastes or unless the feed gets wet. Do not let the feed get moldy. Moldy feeds can kill quail.
