Very well written, excellent source of information. The only thing I can think of to add is, Bob's, Blues, Gambles, Valleys and Mountain quail can be raised in large aviaries. They don't need to be seperated during breeding season if the enclosure is large and proper habitat is provided...but for the purpose of this article it is best for someone who has no knowledge of quail, to follow the author's advice.
Good job Leyla!

The author is assuming that everyone knows how to setup a brooder. More 'how to' would do the article a great value. I brood my birds in a similar setup. I use heat lamps, netting over the top of the brooder to keep the chicks from flying out after about a week of age.

The lamp (non teflon coated)needs to be set at a height that will result in a temperature of 95°F at the floor of the brooder. The lamp should be adjusted weekly, decreasing the temperature by 5°F until the birds are fully feathered out or the ambient temperature is at least 70°F. It should also be located at one end of the brooder and the feed and water at the opposite end. This setup will allow the chicks to go to a warm spot (under the lamp) or near it, while providing a cooler end to get away from the heat.
I use pine shavings or hardwood shavings for bedding.

Well written, only discrepancy I have is with the % humidity being 75% or higher at lockdown. Humidity at that level has lead to 'stuck' chicks in my experince. Too much moisture acts as a lubricant, doesn't allow the chick to turn in the shell while zipping. Can also cause drown chicks by water droplets falling from the condensate on the viewing panes onto the pipped egg.
