how cold is too cold for 3 week old quail?

I wouldnt keep them below 60-70 until they're fully feathered. Mine always stayed indoors until they were all feathered

I'd say anything below 60°F. until they are fully feathered.

I agree with the two above.

we've got one quail, a Texas A&m, who was a yellow chick. she is now almost completely white with those few black dots on the back of her head. would that be considered fully feathered?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Yeah, I think so.

My Coturnix get kicked out at three weeks as long as their first couple nights are gonna be at least mid-50's °F. This is mainly because they are coming from around 70° stable temp in the house and I worry about too big a change so quick.
My first quail were shipped here at 3 - 3.5 wks. The care sheet from the big farm said not to put them outside without heat if temps would drop below 40°.

Yes, it is fully feathered. The bird behind it is not fully feathered out.

the temps when they would be at night would also drop to mid 50s.
