Our button quail have hatched, we have ten healthy little chicks and one who may or may not pull through. We love watching them, they are ecurious and playful, a delight to watch.
Knowing these little birds mature fast and wanting to avoid a situation where they might get aggressive and begin...
It's lock down day for us, on our first batch of button quail eggs that we ordered from Burton's Pirogue Aviaries on ebay. I'm interested to see if anyone else is also incubating eggs recently shipped

So I’ve had my button quails since they were just a few days old ...as they were growing i was sure that one of them was a female because of the way she called out ....now that they are a bit older I noticed that she is doing that low growl and crowing loudly. Does this mean she’s actually a...
I love Hitoko, but don’t always have time to follow him around when he’s out of his tank getting into trouble. So I knew I needed a friend for him. ...but I’ve only ever had bad luck hatching my own eggs, partially due to a garbage incubator. So he’s never gotten a little
i don’t have a...
Hi, I was cleaning my birds cages and my bird hurt herself, and now her leg is bent back and she’s hopping on one foot. She also appears stunned and is breathing heavily. There is no blood or anything, it’s just her leg is bent behind her. What should I do? Is there any course of action I can take?

Hey everybody, I separated my button quail into pairs about a month or so ago, because people said that's how they live best, but I only have one pair that seems to not pick on each other :( Two of the couples look kinda like over mating because the females have bare backs, and the males are...
I'm still in absolute shock as I write this. I had a pair of button quail for almost two years now, wonderful little birds, they were pair bonded and loved each other to pieces. Absolutely inseparable. Sometime last night, our little hen passed away of a prolapse. I didn't notice until this...
If anybirdie has any good ideas for button quail foraging treats, please let me know! Hitoko loves digging around his enclosure and as a current lone quail I think he’d have fun with it.
I am planning to plant some stuff for my button quail to play and hide in (and probably nibble on) and wondered what's safe. I was thinking some grass, parsley, spearmint, clover, kale and maybe some flowers. Please tell me if my ideas are not safe or healthy, and I would love to hear what you...
One of my button quail has not been laying for a while and I'm fine with not getting eggs from her but if something is wrong or she's not healthy, I want to do something about it. Please help, thanks.
I'm looking to buy some quail/button quail eggs but most stores I'm finding sell more than 12 eggs and my mom doesn't want any more than 5 quail. Can anyone recommend any stores or breeders in Canada, preferably in BC or at least ship to BC. I'd love to get true button quail but I've heard the...

three years ago i had a flock of coturnix quail and although i enjoyed them and they gave lots of eggs, they were quite problematic and not what i was looking for in quail.
does anyone know what kinds...

I'm going to try hatching button quail in a month or two, and have a few questions before I start.
#1 What is the best number of eggs to incubate? I am mostly doing this for the experience and to keep a pair or two. And I also don't really have anyone in my area who wants any, but I don't want...
I have had button quail for a while and have just been feeding them about much as they will eat because I can't seem to find anywhere that has amounts. How much is too much? How much is too little?
Does anyone have an idea I can kinda go off of?
