Summarize this article:

A brooder is a small space to raise your chicks. It should be a warm, clean, enclosed area. Try using a cardboard box, a rodent cage, or even a rabbit hutch.  Make sure your brooder has a solid floor and 4 solid walls. The chicks will need enough space to move around and not get crowded. Leave at least 1⁄2 sq ft (460 cm2) per chick in the brooder. Make sure the quail cannot escape from the housing. Measure the space between the wiring, see if there are any gaps about and check that the housing is secure. Try using a 10 US gal (38 l) aquarium as a brooder. Quail will be able to start flying after they are about 1 week old. So, be sure you have something to cover the top of the brooder. Try window screen or netting. Quail often fly upwards when they are scared or startled, so it's best not to use wire because they can cut themselves or get caught in it. The brooder should be kept in a safe and warm place away from potential predators. In your home is the best place to keep your chicks but you can also keep them in a warm shed or a garage if need be.  As long as the area is warm, safe, and free of drafts, it is suitable for your quail chicks. Make sure your chicks are safe from any pets. The main threat to quail are dogs and cats. Smaller pets such as hamsters, mice, or fish are no harm to quail so they can be kept in the same room as your quail. Wood shavings are good bedding for your chicks, but you can also use shredded paper towels or newspaper.  Wood shavings are the most absorbent material and will keep your chicks dry and warm. Avoid cedar shavings, which can be toxic for the quail's lungs. You can also try lining the bottom of the brooder with paper towels. Use at least three layers. Paper towels provide great traction for the chicks. Choose two bowls for food and water. The water bowl should be shallow enough so that the chicks won't drown if they accidently fall in. Make sure the chicks can easily access both bowls.  To easily make a deeper water bowl shallower and safe for quail chicks, put stones or marbles at the bottom of it. You can also buy a special quail water feeder at your local pet or bird store.
Choose a brooder for the quail chicks. Cover the brooder with a soft, breathable material. Keep the brooder in a safe place. Add bedding to the brooder. Add a feeder and a water bowl.
