That's pretty sweet. My silkies did that with the orpington chicks.

Sooooo, is there a magical function that a button quail performs? (in other words, what could I use as a reason to have them???

) Never saw a bebbe before, and the adults are about the next cutest thing ever... i like things that stay cute.

Oh.. today our partridge silkie chick got away from the herd, and was nowhere to be seen. Turned out it had wandered off ALONE into the tall dense brush behind the chicken-barn. I was hesitant to enter this no-man's land, thinking of Lyme's disease and eyeing the new beetles that have appeared out of nowhere.

Fortunately it answered my calls of "peepus-pie" (daughter named it 'ichigo-pie' Huh? I know. after some anime character I believe)and faintly peeped back, and I plunged through the weeds like a bear recuing it's cub. Only carefully, so as not to squash the silky-bebe.

I''d already saved the same chick once about 3 or 4 weeks ago, when it got away from the group and the brooder light and got really cold. That time it was all but dead, gasping and cold. Warmed it and hydrated it all day, later adding some maple syrup and olive oil and starter gruel, and it was eating again by evening.

Stupid birds.

Ahhh thats so cute you saved his life. I just did the same with 3 chicks thismorning, We changed them over to a bigger area but the light bulb was low and i did not know that, woke to one dead and really cold chicks, 3 were really bad, so i put them in with the newbes for more heat, and put a higher bulb in with the others.

And quails? They are so adorable, I wish they would let me hold them but are to squirmy. I have them because i hatched them and that they are just do cute. but really there purpose is that some people raise them to sell to farms for food or there eggs, That what i know, i don't know if there is any other purpose for them, but to make me love how cute they are.

They make the most cutest noise, i love it when mine crow. And one is making a noise that sounds like a cricket, whats that i don't know, but it is to cute.
 
If anyone is interested I have
two nice Parrot stands ( play gyms)
nice new cage for parakeets cockatiels or lots of finches
Mille Fleur hen Blue Cochin Bantam Roo hatching eggs
5 week old Mottled Cochin Bantam, I believe it's a female
5 week old Silver Sebright
6 Month old Beautiful Blue Cochin Bantam already crowing and breeding. If anyone is interested in anything PM me and I will bring it Sunday
