I had 4 hatch from Dragontamer56. They are black with a yellow dot on the top of the head. From my research, I think they are Black Australorp x Buff Orpington. Am I right? I'll try to post pics tomorrow.

Those look like Coturnix. Mine are about the size of a mourning dove without the long tail, but they are not full grown. I don't know about weight, but they would fit on a teaspoon when they hatch. How have you been, I haven't seen you on much lately Deb

Some of my coturnix are 13-16 oz about 3-4 months. They start laying at 6 weeks but they keep growing for a while. you can use a lid with marbles til you can get a quail waterer you only need that while they are babies when they are 3 weeks they can start drinking from regular chicken waters or nipple system or whatever.

Oh I wish, I wish I could join!! My first chicks are still too young to lay and my neighbors chickens are laying all over the place so I don't know how old they are (I've pretty much adopted those chickens) so I guess I'll have to wait until they're all penned in and old enough to lay

I can't wait!!

Yes MR. heinz they are buffXAustralorp. I have hatched 7 and they have all different colors. Some are almost all gold with a little black on the back, some of sivler in the chest, and some are almost all black, They are usuailly almost all black when the hatch but grow into there colors.
