I have never seen a button quail momma and chicks, so I am really hoping she sticks to it.

well i think my hen may have died . I had 4 and then 3 days ago i went in their and 2 were dead

and i havent seen any eggs since . I have eggs in the btor on day 10 . how long do they take to hatch ?

 

[Barnyard]

I am so sorry! I have a question though......

If you had 4 hens and you have found 2 dead, where are the other 2? It takes 16 day's normally for button's to hatch.

Tiffany how many quails do you have in the tank? and the pics is just way overly cuteness

Thanks. I thought she was cute too. I have 3 in there now. I did have 5 but I lost 2 hens.
