20 Buttons and a Power Outage--

[CatJane0x0]

I also have another one coming along with it...it's called "The Chinese Painted Quail, Button Quail: Their Breeding and Care"- I'm not sure how many pages it is, but it looks good. It A Closer Look At "Button Quail" is pretty big at 252 pages! That should keep me busy. You should snag a copy, too.

Great choice on buying the book! Jodi (the author) is one of my best friends! It's very tough to lose birds. I lost a hen last week. She was sitting on a clutch of eggs stiff! Poor little cinnamon in B1 (cage number). I have a few auctions up for eggs, a blue face pair and a golden pearl pair. There will be more auctions with beautiful tux males and some other males.... I have a silver splash hen probably going for auction too...trying to get cages ready for new pairs.

I will check your auctions from time to time, quailladyoffortmyers. I am still getting adjusted with who I have, but I know the auctions will tempt me. I want to get some tuxes, too. I need to build
and create more room first!

Well, I have to finish setting up my 65 gallon tank that decided to dribble water all over at 4 AM while I was watching The Simpsons... the poor oscars are waiting patiently for the sealant to dry. Crossing my finger that I did it right!

If anyone has pics of their buttons please share!!
I'll get mine up here soon.

Thanks, I found the names Buttons and Bunny on the internet before I ever had button quail and I decided then and there that If I ever got button quail I'd name them that.

She was a Golden Pearl I think ( Wild Type )

Those are my favorites. Their spotty colors are so pretty...

My dang camera battery died tonight while I was trying to get pictures so I gotta grab some new ones. So give me a bit on that! *sigh*

My favorite colors are the Blue Breasted (wild-type). I don't know why, they just are.

I hope to grab some batteries for my camera tonight -- I want to show some new pics!

I was wondering by the way...do you guys eat your quail eggs?? Lol, I do!
They are tiny, but are great on sandwiches and stuff.

Still waiting on those books....as patiently as I'm able, lol

Jodi sent out a batch of her book so you should receive it soon

The other book...I am not in charge of that lol...do be aware about the name usage in that one .

I've made deviled eggs from coturnix eggs before, they were a big hit at the IN chickenstock 2009

I'm allergic to eggs (I know, it's ironic

), but my son eats them once in a while. Of course the only kind of eggs he likes are scrambled, and it takes a lot of time to make scrambled quail eggs!

My favorite colors in the buttons are the blue face, silvers, and the ones that some people call Darth Vaders. I like the hens of that color, white with black spots
