Baby quail treats

[Foolhardybuffalo28]

So I did really good and I hatched seven button quail. They're beautiful. They're walking great chirping, all the good things that Quail do they're doing. But my question is I want to treat them...
What can I treat them with because I have other birds and I was curious if I broke down parakeet seed if that would be okay for them

Now they do have grit and I'm feeding them. Game bird crumble

Congratulations on your hatch!
Do you have photos of your babies, I'd love to see them.

Buttons are so tiny. If you want to give them a little treat, hard boil an egg, open it up and give them a little of the hard cooked yolk part, smoosh it up and crumble it finely. They should like that.

You eat the white part yourself. For me, none of my chicks, chickens or Quail have ever seemed too keen on boiled egg white, but they love the yolk.

When your buttons get a little older, then you can give them a very small amount of seed.

Hopefully some others like @Nabiki or @007Sean will chime in with their thoughts.

This was also posted in the quail forums, and I answered it there.

So I have three yellow, and two that look like Chipmunks lol one that is silver blue and one that is multicolored with the Chipmunk stripping on the back but yellow wings. Are they all different types of quail? I feel so silly asking but this is my first time hatching quail and I ordered multicolored eggs

If they're all button quail, then they're all the same species. They will be different colours, but all buttons.

Thank goodness! Lol when they came out different colors I got worried
