Day 17 on Button Quail **One Out w/ Pix**

[SterlingAcres]

Cross your fingers something hatches because I couldn't see into the eggs, they're too dark!

They're 'fertility testers'...

 

[Mrs MIA]

Have you hatched Buttons before?

 

[SterlingAcres]

Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain :

Have you hatched Buttons before?

Nope. I've hatched Bobwhites and Chukar partridge, but not Buttons. I got some for eggs for DH's work lunches and to keep inside as pets. Hopefully, SOMETHING hatches.​

 

[Mrs MIA]

Oh boy... me too.

The buttons are just a little smaller than Bobwhites, but OH so cute!

 

[SterlingAcres]

Well thanks for the well wishes

I'll update when I see anything going on in there. It's also Day 17 on my 2 dozen chicken eggs, so I should have babies by the weekend, with any luck.

One hatched this morning. Probably around 5 or 6 am. It's white or silver. I cannot believe how small it is!

Yes they are small and cute,.. I have 2 little button quail chicks that just turned 1 week old and I have a dozen more eggs on the way to incubate.

Oh my goodness.......look at that little cutie!!!!



You best believe that baby want be alone for long (hint hint)

 

[Mrs MIA]

I think it's a silver... the whites tend to be yellow like a leghorn chick.

What a cutie!!!
