My 3 week old Coturnix Quail Chick ( Pic )

Hello all.
I just wanted to show off my 3 week old Coturnix Quail chick.
It was the only one to hatch from a crushed shipment of eggs.

awh

I bet it sees you as mama (er..."chuck" so I assume papa!) too huh!!! Coturnix quail make awesome pets. I'm sorry though that you lost all the others, darn shipment people!!!

Yes,
I am impressed with how docile Coturnix are, I can hold it and pet it and everything.

I am hooked on Quail now, I have button quail eggs in the incubator right now and plan on getting more coturnix eggs in the spring.

Buttons are adorable and very colorful, ( i own them as well) but my heart belongs to the sweeties (coturnix)!

I'm working on getting some nice/neat/intersting colors in the coturnix too.
