    5 Days ago, had 2 chicks hatch. Popcorn and Pipsqueak. Unfortunately, Pipsqueak hasn't been doing so well- despite my best efforts to help him. He has been up and down, and today he has taken turn for worst. Both of them have been happily cuddling under their mother hen and I'm just glad if he...

    Button Quail Chick HELP

    Update. He doesn't look any stronger today if anything his health seems to be failing despite my best effort. I found him wet, had fallen in his food goop and he didn't seem to eat. He's so small it's also hard to force him to eat :( I mix crumple with water and tru to give him that goop.

    Button Quail Chick HELP

    UPDATE: He has stopped gasping and waddled a little around. Theory is that he's a runt and his dad might have been bullying him so he was found dehydrated and might have not been able to eat properly. But hopefully he gets better from here :)

    Button Quail Chick HELP

Today I found him laying alone and he couldn't even lift his head (Yesterday he looked stronger but he's smaller than his sibling - and this morning he was okay). I took him out, gave him...

    First time Button Quail chicks

    2 days old :) One is a fast little thing. Will probably be more of a handful- the other is still not as strong on his legs but he's healthy and keeps up. So cute :love I take them out few times but they aren't happy about it. I realize now why some may choose to remove them from their mother to...

    First time Button Quail chicks

    Unfortunately, the hen is nowhere near brave enough to come near me. And at their first end of the day, they also seemed to be acting scared of me. I will keep trying some suggestions about handling the chicks multiple times a day for a short period of time and I hope they see it's not bad...

    First time Button Quail chicks

    I had 2 of the 4 eggs hatch today. The parents are very timid and I bought them already mature so there's not much taming I could do with them. Today 2 chicks hatched and they are imprinted on their parents. If I pick them up the mom gets worried and the chicks if I carry them away will call...
