Mexican Speckled Bobwhite Quail?

[QuailMom14]

I picked up 5 mexican speckled quail 2 weeks old. I kept them in an inside brooder but three died the i put them in an outside brooder for the first day and in the morning the were all good then when I came home there was one ready to die but he didnt make it. I have a few post where I showed what I kept them in and others said it was good and everything I'm feeding them was a good feed. I have one left and a California valley quail that were in the same brooder as them when I picked them up. Im wondering if they were just sick or unhealthy from the begining? I bought coturnix quail for the same people and their all doing good. Has anyone had this breed and could possibly tell me more from experience? I really like this breed of quail if anyone knows a breeder that has at least 3week old or someone who sells this type sometime in the year I would really appreciate it. They are a rare kind of bobwhite.

Bobwhites are a lot more sensitive to stress than coturnix. Could be that the move was too much for them.
