Button quail - Oh my

[arllcountrygirl]

We just had our first button quail hatch out

- Oh my

they are SOOOOOOOO tiny. I will add pics later. I bought eggs from shelleyd2008, pop57, and several others, not sure whose these actually came from - had a lot going on and didn't keep track, but they are hatching. DD is in

with them already.

Way to fun I love baby buttons! Can't wait to see pictures

I've got some buttons in the brooder that hatched on the 11th and the 12th. These guys are little spaz's. Just starting to get their flight feathers, and already in danger of jumping and flying

How long does it take these guys before I have to worry about them flying out when I am cleaning the cage?

 

[arllcountrygirl]

Ok - Here is a picture.

Boyd - sorry can't help you with the age on the button - this is first time for button quail for me.

ADORABLE!

and soooo tiny!

is that a quarter??

I'm expecting my first baby buttons on the 3rd.from my silver pair

 

[arllcountrygirl]

Yes - that is a quarter.

Don't let the size fool you - they are SUPER fast.

Hard to hang onto.
