➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Nabiki]

I still have only one hen laying, but this morning when I ate 8 of the eggs, I saw little white spots with possible rings around them. I'm going to gather the next five and set them in the new incubator.

I think she went out to play some Pokemon Go. View attachment 1947778

I can’t believe she is still playing that!! It’s amazing. I thought for sure she would have quit after like a day or two or less lol

At first I thought you meant you ate 8 quail

Also I love the whole ate eight thing.

Good luck.

Do you have any pictures of parents?
I don't know what this color looks like.

Here is the first one that I hatched. She is a grey cinnamon blue face. Basically they are a cinnamon with the color fading as it gets closer to the body. Apparently it's not a common color, and one of the ladies in my group familiar with them had never seen them in blue face before.


Excuse the poo ball. Part of my monthly maintenance is checking for and removing them. Of course I took the pictures before I removed it

What is button's egg size? Is it like Coturnix or smaller?

Button eggs are roughly half the size of coturnix. Here's a bunch with a quarter for size.

How do you remove the poo balls for a button quail? I did it for my coturnix but the buttons are so flighty I'm afraid of hurting them. I usually make the coturnix stand in warm water and then gently scrape the ball off in chunks once it's softened up a bit.
