Button quail ID

The Purina feed is okay. It will make their poop stink to high heavens, but it will give them the protein they need. Here is an article that may help you find good feed. Buttons do have the same nutritional needs as coturnix.

I don't see any issue with the one with the white around the eye. It looks like normal markings to me.

Okay, thank you. Could you recommend a brand or specific product to me that is good but also won't make their poop stink so much, as my parents have already been complaining about the stink. Thank you

It really depends on what you have near you. I personally like Bar Ale, but their chick feed is medicated, so I switched brands. The brand I use now is a locally milled brand. Check with your feed store and keep in mind the information in the article I sent you. Locally milled feed is often good and usually cheaper. Check out turkey/gamebird starters.

It could help if you provided your approximate location in the world. People in the same vicinity might know a local feed that would be good. For example, I'm in Central Texas and found Golden Oak Milling to have some good feeds. Their gamebird starter is 28% and they also have a 24% gamebird layer and 20% finisher. I only ever used the first two.

It's too early to see the bibs yet. The one that has some baldness on the back may be from feather picking. Feather picking usually is caused by not enough protein or because they're too hot.

Based on what you said about their feed, I'm guessing not enough protein. Can you find a turkey starter in your area? Those are usually in the right protein range.

The silver one has a thin white chin strap, but no true bib. They are 39 days old. Is this their final form or is there still a chance of them developing a bib

That thin white chin strap is probably the silver's bib.

So does that mean it's a male?

Most likely. Do you have a recent pic?
