I hatched my second clutch of Button quails on July 1st! Out of 5 eggs, four hatched. Three cinnamon and one silver! Of course I was so excited to have another silver one, but he passed at 15 days old. Not sure why
Anyway! The other three cinnamons are 20 days old and getting feathers, but two of them look bald!?!? I have attached a photo. I have been watching them closely, mom and dad take good care of them, and no feather picking. I feed them VERY well, and none of them appear sick. It looks as though their fuzzies are falling out, but their feathers are not really growing in! What is happening?
Also, I had two more cinnamon buttons, a male and a female that hatched one egg out of 6! This baby came out half silver and half brown!!! WTH?? This baby is one week old today and it’s feathers look like a “red breasted”. How does that even happen?!?!
