Maybe Pharoahs start before the others?

Maybe!! If so I need to get some haha

Ikr? I don't know why, but I'm wanting to hatch some too!!! What to do? What are they good for? Just being "cute as a button"? "Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew?"

Pets for me, they're fun animals to have around. They do cute things, they're more interactive than most small cage birds (mine come running for treats). I keep mine from a background in exotic animal husbandry, so they are kept in large indoor cages with reasonably natural setups. They need to be kept in male/female pairs mostly, sometimes related same sex groups are alright.

Yeah, I wanted to have a couple breeding pairs, like with my Bobs.

Do button quail incubate for the same amount of time as coturnix quail?

Maybe I shouldn't ask that question. I don't need button quail. View attachment 1990952 I don't. I just kind of want them.

Awww, crap. Someone local has some... https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/pet/d/novato-button-quail/7046154536.html

My buttons seemed to be about a day earlier than the coturnix. I think it can depend on the strain and incubator too. Usually 16-18 for buttons and 17-18 for coturnix, when I hatched them.

I'm not npip but I do have button eggs...

One quail has emerged and gifted me with its presence I was a little worried because I hadn’t heard any victory chirps when I woke up

I'm still waiting for Zack to get back to me on that. Either he's really busy (likely), or he doesn't want to deal with my miserly ways. ;-)

probably just really busy.....we’ve had week of good weather on top of the holidays and the 20% off sale.....they are also planning their crops/garden for this spring
