:( lonely button quail
Today is day 16 for my hatch of 10 button quail eggs and only 1 hatched out so far.. She (or he) hatched around 5 in the morning today, I think. None of the others hatched out and I'm really worried about the lonely one. I have 5 adults but I don't think it's safe to put the baby with adults... -
Broody Button Quail!
I have a broody button quail!! She was laying in a nest so I didn't bother with her eggs and choose to watch what she'll be doing and she went broody! She has total 8 eggs (I think) and is sitting on it for almost 7 hours straight! What should I do for her? Will she be eating and drinking normally? -

Quail Feed :o
Well many people told me not to buy Dumor since it has low protein and is not that good for quails.. But Dumor was the only feed that I can find for my button quails.. Other feeds were TOO BIG and TOO expensive. I only raise them as pets (since they are so tiny and so cute and makes funny... -

First button quail egg
I'm currently feeding them 20% feed from the very beginning. I know that the protein was kinda low so I gave them eggs once in three days and some veggies. I bought 2 cuttle bones today. Well one was broken into half so I grinded one half and mixed it in the feed for those that are laying right... -

Sick Button Quail? Need HELP! :(
Second pic is from about a week ago and first pic is from yesterday. I currently have 6 button quails. I think I have 2 males and 4 females. While cleaning their house yesterday, I noticed that few feathers were plucked from the silver male. I'm not sure if he was bullied or anything, but I... -

Help me sex/color id button quails + Problems
+Edit Oh yeah, about the problem.. The grey one (which is male) and light brown one (on the very last pic, the one on the left of the grey one) both chase dark brown one (on the very last pic, the one on the right of the grey one). It's like light brown one comes near dark brown one and get... -
Help me sex/color id button quails + Problems
I'm guessing grey one is a male one.. since he has a thin white bib (he doesn't have pink/red/rusty vent feathers..but he does crow) btw, does rusty mean brown? I have a black one slowly changing into blue and brown(on vent). Sooo pretty Anyway. Doesn't button quail crow like a puppy? That's... -
