Hi Kitty,

Not sure if I understand you completely?
At this age, if they are not in a nest box with their Mother,
they should be in a brooder with a heat source. It's too
early for a cage. And if Mom is feeding them while you're at
school what cage is she in?
At this age they can be fed about every 6 hours and do not
have to be fed during the night.
What formula are you feeding them?
