button quail chicks

I love this little one!

I love the stripes on this little silver button quail

Hello All! So the day before New Years (Dec.30th) I placed a couple button quail eggs and 2 jumbo quail eggs in my 12slot incubator with hopes that they would hatch... No such luck, but just for the heck of it, I continued placing every button quail egg I've found in the incubator with hopes...

Looking for color/type and sex of both chicks. They are 4 weeks old tomorrow.

Hi, I'm new to breeding button quail and this is my first hatch. I got a 50% hatch rate from posted eggs so I'm not too dissapointed. Babies are now 3 weeks old. Would love some help identifying colours. Plus I can only really identify 2 being hens as they're the wild variety. I can wait to...

Hi all, I have a clutch of eight 4-day old button quail chicks. They are in a brooder and have their mom with them. Today I was cleaning their brooder and noticed 2 types of concerning droppings: 1) dark poops 2) diarrhea I'm very worried about any disease spreading with these babies, as they...

3 days ago I had 2 chicks hatch. One of them was noticeably more unsteady on his legs that the first one. Today I found him laying alone and he couldn't even lift his head (Yesterday he looked stronger but he's smaller than his sibling - and this morning he was okay). I took him out, gave him...

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...

Hi guys, I had 6 eggs and two survived and hatched and I’m stuck on telling which is male or female and also the colours I’m sure one is white/grey like a splash they are 4 weeks old here are the pics

Hello everybirdie, i love showing off my many species of birds. I happen to be very lucky and bought from a source that breeds tameness into buttons! And, of the two babies I hatched (first timer’s blunders), my little assumed tuxedo male is very friendly! i wanted to make a thread following...

WARNING!! THIS POST INCLUDES PHOTO AND VIDEOS OF ONE OF MY BUTTON QUAIL CHICKS DYING TRAGICALLY. NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! These babies were hatched on Friday June 26. They are 4 days old. When I went to check on them this afternoon, I found the mother sitting on all 4 of the babies...

My red breasted female and White male Button Quails hatched three babies about 2 1/2 weeks ago. A few days before I lost the brown one last week, I noticed it was holding it’s right foot up into its wing and didn’t want to walk on it. I assumed it got broken from being stepped on. This morning I...

Hello! I'm fairly new to button quail. I have five adults (my male has four girlfriends and they are very happy and adorable together.) I've hatched seven of their eggs, and all are healthy, but today I noticed that one has an issue with their feet. This is my 'noisy' chick, so I'm not sure if...

Hey all, My female is constantly wanting to hatch eggs, but every time one hatches she ends up trampling the poor soul to death and then ignores the other eggs and they eventually dont make it. I haven't been able to acquire an incubator that I like for their tiny eggs so I normally just take...

My fiancee and I are about to incubate button quail eggs for the first time. We’ll be receiving more eggs than we plan on hatching for ourselves, so I figured I’d post here to see if anyone would like some chicks! The quail will be a random mix of different color varieties. Alternatively, if...

Hello everyone! I have two new babies from a clutch that hatched 4 weeks ago. The mother is basic brown and the father is silver. Judging by the feathers of the babies, the brown one is definitely female, but I am unsure of the little “white” one? Is it white or silver? The vent feathers are...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to know, should button quail that will be kept as a pair be from different clutches/batches of eggs? Can they be from the same clutch? Thanks for all the wonderful advice, Button Quail 123 :) P.S How do you do make all of the animated emojis/faces?

My Button quail hen TNT went broody. On October 4th she hatched six beautiful chicks. Sadly, one didn't make it, but with the love and care received from their parents, the rest have thrived. So, to the point: I went to feed them five days ago and noticed an egg on the floor of the tank. I...

Can I place the newborn button quail with the 6 day old cotournix quails? The box is kinda small.... in planning tomorrow getting a bigger box! Otherwise is it okey?
