My button quail hen has raised two batches of button chicks. When she went broody a third time I decided to experiment by putting coturnix eggs under the button quail. Hatch day was yesterday.

Three of the five eggs hatched.
 
I wish my button hens would hatch chicks! 🙄 The babies will be bigger than her in no time but how is it going?
