    No need to be sorry! I don't enjoy butting into threads, but I just want to make sure an animal's life isn't at stake.

    Button Quail Size

    I feel like that experience is just a one-off and doesn't speak for all buttons. I just think giving that advice based solely on your own experience isn't a good idea... Especially if it's quite uncommon. I've seen tons of threads where someone gave bad advice and then that person's birds died...

    Button Quail Size

    Actually, Buttons are monogamous and should be kept in 1 male 1 female pairs for the happiest type of life. This is how they live in the wild, and while they may be content in trios/1:3 male to female ratio, trying to mimic their natural habitat is always best. Also the male, unless unusually...

    Button Quail Color ID Help

    Thanks DK! I was wondering if either of the males were pied, but they didn't seem to have much white on the wings, so that probably is the case with the double factor...rats! I hope all their babies aren't bluefaced... I was really wanting silvers, but they didn't have any at the farm! I'm glad...

    Button Quail Color ID Help

    Hi all! I just brought home my new buttons today! The farm didn't really have the colors I was looking for, but I picked out what I thought I could work with. It was funny, actually, because I was looking for a tuxedo, and right when I thought they didn't have any, I saw one! The guy went and...

    Advice for Picking Buttons for Breeding

    Thanks so much for the reply! That's great advice. I think looking for a parent that is both calm and the right color(s) will probably be difficult...I researched everything I could last night, and I think I have an idea of what I need to be looking for in color at least!

    Advice for Picking Buttons for Breeding

    Hi All! :) This Wednesday, I have a good friend willing to drive me out to a farm in the East to go and pick up some Buttons! This farm is known for the love and attention they put into their birds... I'm looking to become a hobby-breeder to potentially sell chicks/adults to others in the...

    HELP! First Time Hatching Eggs (button quail)

    I've heard it could take that long, but most people I've seen had them out by day 17 or 18... and my incubator ran a little warm (about 100-100.5) so I was thinking that they'd be oddly accelerated if anything. But I will wait... I really, really hope they make it! I also hope that there's at...

    HELP! First Time Hatching Eggs (button quail)

    Hi All, I am currently incubating 4 button eggs... I originally ordered 15, but they were stuck in the post too long (about 6 days, shipped 2 days after collection) and most of them didn't make it :( Today is the 16th day of incubation, and yesterday, since I didn't really see any signs of...
