Making a Habitat for 5 Disabled Buttons
I still have a few things to do in my main aviary. But I want to get a habitat ready for my 5 buttons that have splay leg as I keep them separated. Right now they are in a 4' round nylon pet playpen. I currently have a 2' x 2' x 18" cage that held one pair of buttons before I built the aviary... -
Will my button drown?
A couple of my splay legged buttons have developed poop balls on their feet. I have successfully soaked non-disabled buttons feet for this issue. But I’m concerned because these buttons cannot stand up properly. I would certainly keep a close watch so they don’t drown. But I don’t want any... -
Blood on eggs
There were a few spots of blood on two of the button quail eggs I found today. There is no way to tell who laid them. Thoughts? Concerns? -
I got scammed! So, why am I so happy?
I'm not on FB, or Instagram or Tiktok, so I only saw the photos, not the video ads. And I definitely didn't see the videos warning against those so-called mineral mugs. Now, in my defense, I knew they couldn't be made of real minerals. But they were so pretty, and I thought that they would at...- TeresaW

Button Quail Hatch-a-long, 3 batches
I'm trying again! I know y'all told me to wait, but batch number 1 are eggs from my young hens. There's 15 of them labeled A-O. I just put them in my Little Giant. Batches two and three (one dozen each) are due to arrive on Monday, so they'll go in the incubator on Tues. Suggestions for three... -
Quail eyes
I saw the statement below in another thread. Is this true for quail too? "The left eye of chickens is more near sighted while the right one is more for seeing far off." -

Oyster Shell for Buttons
I bought this. First off, even though it says it's pullet-sized, the pieces are pretty big, and I had to use my mortar and pestle to grind it up. It wasn't easy. Second, I read that at least for chickens, it's bad for the roosters, and to put it in a separate container so the ladies could eat... -
Nutri-Drench for baby Buttons?
I've heard recommendations for Nutri-Drench for weak baby chickens. So I looked it up. It has a dropper feed system and on a video a guy said he fed his chick one drop a day. But button chicks are so much smaller. Is one drop too much for it? Also, what's the difference between it and... -

Crushed Coral?
I have half a bag of white crushed coral left over from when I had an aquarium. Is it safe to use in my quail cage? The pieces are too big for them to try to eat. -
Trouble calibrating my Govees
I'm testing my Govees and my Little Giant for a hatch I'm starting this weekend. But I'm getting frustrated. I have two Govees and an analog meat thermometer. I put the meat therm. in an ice water bath for 30 min. and it read 38F, so 6 degrees high. Then I placed all three next to one another...- TeresaW

Show me your Poultry/Farm Animal Clothing and Accessories.
I'd love to see your farm related clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry, and other accessories. I don't yet have any. I just started raising button quail, but doubt I could find any clothing or such with button quail on them.- TeresaW

Monitoring newly hatched quail chicks
I am trying to plan some events over the next couple of months, but I also want to hatch some quail eggs. My question is about how much they need to be monitored in the brooder once they hatch. In other words how long can they be left alone if I need to go somewhere for a couple hours or an...
