I had 2 of the 4 eggs hatch today.
The parents are very timid and I bought them already mature so there's not much taming I could do with them. Today 2 chicks hatched and they are imprinted on their parents. If I pick them up the mom gets worried and the chicks if I carry them away will call out. If I'm in their space the chicks actually seem very interested in my hand and one of them will follow around my fingers.
I don't care to take them away from their mom. They are raised as pets and live in a very comfortable large space.
I do wonder if the chicks will turn timid because their parents are? If it's a behaviour they observe. Anyone has experience taming button quail chicks that still live with their parents?
They are so cute <3 I wish they would be more tamed unlike their parents. It makes it extremely hectic when I try to clean their space.
One of the chicks seems to struggle a little with walking. It's not like his legs are spread apart - they stay under him but it might just be that he hasn't gained the strength yet. Will keep an eye on him.
