Baby quail will need to be fed a starter/grower mix designed for game birds. Most feed stores will carry this in addition to other poultry starter foods. Once the chicks are old enough you can then begin to feed them the same diet as their parents. You'll also want to have a heat lamp in the brooder that they can move to and away from as needed in order to better regular their temperature until their adult feathers come in.
