Quote: Laxative? I've never heard of that. Wonder what would cause that reaction in their bodies. I have heard of birds exploding if you give them bicarbonate of soda, but I don't know if that's actually true; I've never tried it and would never want to, but one of my school teachers admitted...

Wow, those are some cute chicks!! I've never seen butler chicks before. Good luck with your new birds!!

That's just too adorable!!! Hope papa quail stops being so defensive soon, so you can get some more really good pics. He did a good job to get seven of them to hatch!! How many eggs were there? Good luck with your new baby quail!

What breed are they?

Quote: Will a link to the poll be posted here? That would be really useful. I've never done a poll on this site before, not sure how it works

Can we vote even if we entered? Good luck to everyone!!!!

Quote: Excellent work!! Really love this one Can't wait to see if there are any other late submissions Really awesome pictures so far!!!

The quail in the first pic looks so inquisitive, lol So cute

It would be really cool if someone could do one of these colour threads for bobwhites Maybe several bob breeders could collaborate their photos and pool their knowledge? I found out a lot about Coturnix and Buttons colours, but bobwhites I am not really familiar with. Do other species such as...

Would this be anything like how people call Chinese quail 'Button quail', but the Button quail is an entirely different species that isn't even classed as a 'true' quail? It sounds like a similar situation

5parrots&zoo : Thanks for the kind words. Wow, there are some really talented artists among us, I am not so good at the realistic look, so thought I would go with a more cartoon style. But I sure do love my girls!! It is going to be a lot of fun to see the end results... That's the opposite...

Quote: The color is blueface, the white pattern on his face and belly makes him tuxedo. So he is a blueface tuxedo. Tuxedo and pied can come in any color but are just different ways of differentiating the amount of white on the bird. How can you tell that it's a blueface? I always get...

Part of the problem with removing the shells from the quail eggs is that it's hard and long, so as I'm working at it, a couple end up in my mouth. If you boil the eggs, then leave them in vinegar for about 4 hours (I think) then the shells are supposed to dissolve. This is what I've heard some...

Tam'ra of Rainbow Vortex - that looks like a very interesting recipe. I have never had quiche before, but I think that's something I'll definitely have to try!! You can also make scotch eggs using quail eggs (either mini ones, or use multiple eggs for larger ones), I think there's is a recipe...

Quote: Okay, thank you

Quote: Lol Do you look for the same thing you look for in larger species? With the male having a more swollen/protruding vent? They don't have the 'foam gland' like coturnix, you have to look at the shape of the vent opening. What does that look like for male and female then?

Did you set the eggs anyway, just in case?

Is she being pecked, or is it breeding damage? Does she have missing feathers, or is it just bleeding?

She's so sweet, bless her Do you know what colour she is?
