Broody button quail

[Fishkeeper]

I love them! Can you take a picture of them with something like a coin for size comparison? So precious!

The chicks are now 5 days old and have grown considerably. All ten are doing well.

The chicks are 9 days old and the hen has drove them away from her; motherhood is done. I have put her back with the roo. It will be interesting to see if she will go broody again or if the first time was a fluke.

A new nest is made and three eggs so far.
