    New flock members, hopefully permanent!!

    Yesterday i added two hens to my flock :) (Let's ignore the fact that I have no other birds aside from button quails) I DID consult with the breeder, he has no issue with 2:1 ratio in his button quails as long as the cage is big enough for both hens to build nests, if it doesn't work out i have...

    First time Button Quail chicks

    I had 2 of the 4 eggs hatch today. The parents are very timid and I bought them already mature so there's not much taming I could do with them. Today 2 chicks hatched and they are imprinted on their parents. If I pick them up the mom gets worried and the chicks if I carry them away will call...

    Boy or girl??

    I have recently got 6 Chinese Painted Quails and they have reached the stage where I need to split them up before any fighting starts. Three are, I think, 'Normal' variety... Mainly greyish colour but getting darker as they get older. Two are definitely males, complete with very obvious bibs...

    Button Quail Hatching

    I have hatched a few sets of Button quail before, and they have all been rather lackadaisical with the hatching process. Generally, I have found that all that will hatch will do so in about an 8 - 9 hour time frame. Not like wild quail of any kind that generally all hatch in less than 2 hours...

    Lone female button quail - can I make her happy by herself?

    Here is my article that I posted about her previously for some context: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/rescued-3-week-old-quail-need-advice.1490455/ It turns out she’s an adult button quail. Her legs don’t quite work and she’s slowly getting healthier - I would love to eventually get...

    Button Quail Hen Color Morph ID Please!

    This sassy little cutie has joined our flock! I think she has fawn coloring, but does anyone have any more insight or corrections? I am currently planning on pairing her with a silver redbreast male. Any other suggestions for pairing?

    Hybridising Chinese Painted Quail and Japanese Quail

    For a while now I have had two Chinese painted (CP) quail (assumed a pair) living with my Japanese Coturnix (JC) hens. Surprisingly, the CP roo has not once mated with his CP hen. Instead, he took a fancy to my JC hens. At first it was a futile attempt, he would climb on their necks and sit...

    Button Quail Flying/Crashing in the Night?

    Hi all, My pair of button quail live with my Coturnix hens currently, and get along like peas in a pod. I often see the buttons snuggling with the other hens, so they’re coexisting well, and I know there is no fighting occuring between them. In the day all is fine... but at night, it’s a...

    New Additions - Chinese Painted Quail

    Hi all, I unintentionally stumbled across a local advertisement for someone selling two Chinese painted quail, and since quail are almost impossible to find here, I foolishly purchased them with intent on them joining the farm. Safe to say that won’t be happening now; they’re completely untame...

My question is the following, since I bought them I haven't seen them...

    Quail Disease?!

    Hi all, I purchased this Buttonquail from a farm in Arizona back in October. I noticed within a few weeks, this eye was turning blue and he was having trouble seeing out of it. He had been with a mate until his mate passed away unexpectedly a few months ago. (I don’t know how old these birds...

    Button Quail died leaving her friend on her own. What do I do? Is it best to leave her on her own, or does she need a friend?
