Button Quail are hatching! Moved to Brooder (+PICS)

[cherndon712]

I had a button quail hatch...Missed the WHOLE thing!! I have a few more that are peeping, with little white spots on the shells but haven't pipped yet...One is ROCKING away!!

[cherndon712]

Now I have to go to WalMart so I'll probably miss the next one, too!!

 

[cherndon712]

I was right! Went to WalMart and another hatched while I was gone!! I have 2 little bumblebee babies now!!!

i want some button quail that is my next experiment

 

[cherndon712]

Took it through the bator window, so it's kinda fuzzy...

do you have eggs for sale?

 

[cherndon712]

Not yet, these are my first! I got them from Garrie Landry (google his name!)

Oh my! They are TINY! Can you tell I've never seen quail before...well, except for the wild quail where I grew up in the California desert-Gamble Quail I think? Congrats on your hatch by the way

Yaay for Buttons! Aren't they the cutest little things?
It does work (a little) to put them in the dark in the hatcher (I know because mine hatch 2' away from my pillow). The 'wheep wheep wheep' will keep you glued to the window, waiting for the next one to burst out or make you cover your head with a pillow
My Button hatchlings (even from pip) are much more vocal than chicken chicks and always were hatching in the night.
