How big are they? They aren't buttons are they? I know our eggs you can put a finger through with no problem. Buttons are great to hatch, nothing like a chick the size of a bumble bee.

they are not much bigger than a button quail egg. I was shocked because coturnix are bigger.
I love how they seem to POP out of the eggs like popcorn..so much more gratification than watching the chick so slowly hatch out when its chicken eggs...

We have had button quail! They are adorable but not friendly and here are a couple of other reasons why I rehomed mine ----

The males are very very loud! Like a rooster crowing in your house. At 5 a.m.
Also, if you don't keep them in pairs or separate the males and females, the males will harm each other just like roosters do!
Ours also jumped straight up in the air on a daily basis and we had to create a soft topped cage because one hit it's head so hard on the top of the 3 ft wire cage that it bled.
They run and then they go BOING UP AND DOWN like pogo sticks.
They have a musky smell that can inflame allergies.

O.K. good luck to you!
