Any tips for newly hatched button quail chicks?

My two quails hatched two little chicks yesterday in my outdoor aviary. I have given them seeds, dried egg yoke and a few worms, they have shelter, but is there anything else? Is there anything I should watch out for? Quails are one type of bird that I have never bred before, and this is also the parents' first chicks. They are kept in an aviary with 2 cockatiels, usually they get on fine, but the cockatiels also have chicks. Their chicks are high up in a nest box, but are the cockatiels any risk to the quails?
