I recently decided to try sand as a substrate for my button quail Spankie. He is a few years old and has only been on paper bedding and bark. I liked the bark but it was hard to keep clean. I put 10lbs of sand into the bottom of his tank and placed a bowl of paper bedding for him to sleep on. I...

There are also two young cats now available. They were both sterilized two weeks ago and are completely healed. The female is called Piper, she's 10 months old, and the male is called Gatsby, and he's 5 months old. Piper is a brown/tan tabby with amber eyes. Gatsby is a diluted sort of grayish...

WA State I've rescued a lot of animals over the past year and my home is getting extremely crowded. I would like to find homes for a number of small animals. Here's the run down: Coffee (higher in photo) and Cream (foreground) - Two female gerbils. They live together. Sugar...

I have one button who is super tame. He was a single chick and bonded to people immediately. He doesn't know how to be a bird, but he's the best pet. He does crow sometimes, but after he hit about six months old, he stopped for the most part. I would definitely suggest getting your next bird...

I'm in Tacoma.

I normally would edit, it but I'm on my phone and it's been acting up. Sorry about that.

I don't think ANY true quail actually perch, but I definitely could be wrong.

And as chicks they look like this:

Of my seven button quail, I'm keeping one. He didn't have any hatch mates and can't figure out how to be a bird, so he stays by himself (he gets aggressive with other buttons). His name is Spankie. This is him:

I'm pretty sure buttons live to about six years. Mine are less than a year. About five months and super healthy. They lay an egg almost every day. They've never been exposed to other birds so no diseases or anything. Hens live shorter lives usually. They can make noise, although not too often...

I have six buttons, free to a good home in Seattle/Tacoma. I also have some eggs incubating. Any babies are also free.

Okay, here's the link to my buttons, for anyone interested. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/942905/wa-state-button-quail

They are mobile. It's not walking so much as flailing. Unfortunately they hatched while I was away and had spraddle and curled toes. They are quite bonded to eachother and don't seem to be in any pain so I just make sure their vents are clean every few days. Never had a problem, but I just check...

If anyone is it retested in button quail, please check in buy~sell~trade. My buttons are free to a good home.

I'm looking to re-home six Chinese Blue Breasted Quail (button quail/painted quail C, chinensis). They are free to a good home in WA state or by pickup. Four males and three females. Two males are paired up currently both disabled with leg problems. The other two males are paired up with one of...

I agree that it is best to keep only pairs. I've never heard of button quail breeding true to their mutation, but it's natural for them to be in pairs anyway, so that's how I keep mine.

Okay, thank you. I didn't expect her to go broody in the middle of winter, is all. I need to find time to go to the craft store so I can put some in her cage after she's done.

Button quail/painted quail have a number if different color mutations. The two hens on the right are cinnamons (red breasted probably), and the one on the left looks closer to wild type. I'm not sure exactly of her color mutation, it is different than why be seen.
