    Button quail morphs

    Correct! Number 1 is golden pearl and number 2 is wildtype. And yeah, there's a lot of different combinations for each color/morph. Here's another example just for fun. Same base(cinnamon) as the other two but with a different pattern(redbreasted). 😁

    Button quail morphs

    Yea, wildtype and golden pearl look very similar and they were the colors i had most problems with when i started raising buttons. Females of both colors usually have barred chestfeathers but in golden pearl those barred feathers extend over the back and wings as well while also giving them more...

    How to sex quail without the vent? And does anyone have week by week growth picture guides?

    Hi! You cannot vent sex buttons as you do with coturnix since buttons do not produce foam. All button quail colors/morphs (except pure white and some tuxedos) are easily feathersexable if you know what to look for since males and females have very different plumages. I usually look for 3 male...

    Button quail pair picking on hen?

    Hi! Your speckled one is indeed a hen, she's a red breasted female. It seems like your white male and brown (cinnamon) hen have already pair-bonded and doesn't want to include the other hen in their relationship. Trios and groups can work depending on the personality of the individual birds but...

    Correct me if i'm wrong - coturnix colors

    Thanks for your reply! 🙂 These birds arrived in august as rescues so i have no info on their background/genes etc. The 3rd one have a lot more white feathers on the head now, this is him today. Does he still qualify as a rosetta or is this something else?

    Share about you game bird!!!

    Right now i'm only getting about 4-5 eggs a day since my hens took a break during the winter. They will probably start to lay more now that summer is on the way. 😊

    Button quail chick color ID?

    The lighting makes it a bit difficult to id them correctly but it seems like most of them are cinnamons except for 14/8 (red breasted), 9/2 (tuxedo), 5/1 (silver) and 12 may be a cinnamon/pearl.

    Is this a female or male button quail?

    Red vent feathers almost always means male. This is a pic of my cinnamon male when he was around 3 weeks for comparison. 🙂

    Can you tell me what this color variation is called and what sex are they both? #buttonquail#chinesepaintedquail

    Your birds are pretty young right? Young males tend to make the same sounds as hens until they reach sexual maturity, after that they'll start to make the long one-note "peeeeeeew" and the creepy windtunnel sound more.

    Can you tell me what this color variation is called and what sex are they both? #buttonquail#chinesepaintedquail

    I would not reccomend sexing buttons solely based on the sounds they make. Yes, male and females do have different sounds but they also have a lot of similar sounds, especially young birds. It's easier and more accurate to visually sex them since males and females have very different plumages in...

    Can you tell me what this color variation is called and what sex are they both? #buttonquail#chinesepaintedquail

    They both have a male bib + blue chest feathers + red vent feathers (3 things that female buttons never have) so i don't think they're females.

    "What color variations have higher prices in Button/ King Quail?"

    I haven't sold one in ages so i can't really give an answer about prices but i do know that fallow and true wild type are very rare and often sought after for breeders. Most buttons today carry so many color genes that it's almost impossible to tell what color their chicks will be so any "true"...

    Will my button drown?

    Maybe you could fill the bottom of the plastic tub with pebbles or marbles or something similar so they have something to stand on while still getting in contact with the water

    Can you tell me what this color variation is called and what sex are they both? #buttonquail#chinesepaintedquail

    They're both red breasted males.

    They are crosses of a tuxedo male with a cinnamon female. A. & B. I am not sure of its sex. #Buttonquail#Chinesepaintedquail

    Yeah, the sound your bird makes in the video sounds like a female. Males usually have a long one-note "peeeeew" while females have a series of shorter high-pitched "pew-pew-pew" that sounds a bit like they are laughing.

    They are red breasted tuxedos. Both are females based on the coloring and the video. Beautiful birds! 🙂
