Mom decided to hatch quail. How to care for them???

Here is a comparison picture. The chicken egg is a silky egg. The tiny one is one of the quail eggs.

Can you post pics of the quail eggs?
Edit: nevermind I see that you did.

Those look to me like button quail eggs but I am not positive

Definitely not button quail eggs. I'm guessing bobwhite. This is a picture of a large coturnix egg and a small button egg next to each other.

I'm guessing japanese (coturnix) quail. Aren't bobwhite quail eggs white?

I'm not 100% certain, but I'm guessing that's a bobwhite egg. If so, you probably need to have a permit to keep/raise them, so you should be looking into that right away.

Next, you probably want to read this article:

I know that referring you to articles doesn't seem to be your preferred learning method, but believe me, it's better to get all of the basic information first, then ask questions that you still have afterwards.

They can be speckled too. From left to right, button, coturnix, bobwhite, bobwhite.

I'm quite thankful for links and articles. Especially if they can help.
