June Hatch-A-Long

But button quail are just for pets. Coturnix quail are probably what they are looking for. Those can be used for meat and eggs.

They do have coturnix available, too. hmmm...

Get the Coturnix. Button quail aren’t really useful for anything unless you want pets.

And this is why I ask here before I get things. Haha. I’ve always liked buttons but I couldn’t see them being of much use for anything but who knows - I’ve never done quail. not planning on keeping any if I do hatch them so better to get something people will want. Thanks much.

So pretty. I’m jealous!

They and the true greens breed true too, don't they? With their respective roosters covering, I mean...

Most people I know who have had Coturnix and Button tend to get rid of the buttons and keep the Coturnix.

This is my 1st hatch, due Father’s Day weekend. I need help! I’m having humidity issues with a brand new Lyon TurnX. Thank you. See my post in incubators for the full story:

I am not familiar with that type of incubator, but maybe someone here is.

@CluckNDoodle can you read this thread and see what you think.

Of course the market has to be saturated with chicks as soon as mine hatch even the farm stores are back to having chicks in stock. Guess I can't win. I might end up giving some away.

On the upside, someone is coming to pick up both my roos this morning, he has several flocks that need bodyguards. I'm just glad to not have to butcher them. Hopefully he doesn't laugh when he sees them confined to laundry baskets... My dogs are old and we got rid of their crates a couple years ago, so I don't have anything that resembles a cage around. I had to take the cat to the vet in a diaper box last year.

You are killing me

Dont you wish that you didnt get rid of the crates... We keep lots of boxes so that we can put our rehomed chickens in them for the new owners.

I am not familiar with that type of incubator either. Sorry. I hope that you are able to find some answers though.
