They do all look like cinnamons, though the male is probably cinnamon redbreasted. I don't think normal cinnamons have the masks? Idk, all my cinnamons are cinnamon blue face

Oh btw Fudgie, I have gotten 7 eggs each day (today and yesterday). I don't think macnugget wanted his until later this week, so I should be able to send yours out tomorrow

Let me double check with macnugget first though.

The only male cinnamons that don't have the bib are the blue face forms. Here is some great info on them.

COOLNESS Shelley, just let me know so I can alert the Post office. I will be gone Saturday so if they come in, they will need to call my Mother-in-law to go pick them up. NOT a problem at all! WOO HOO and stonebridge - the buttons LOVE the coco hut too! I figure why let it go to waste! They are having a ball in it, have it filled with shavings now all they gotta do is start nesting and getting a bunch of eggs in there. when do they actually start laying do you know?

 

[shelleyd2008]

They can start laying around 6 weeks, but I would say not to hold your breath. Most seem to wait until they are closer to 9 or 10 weeks old.

I still haven't gotten a response from macnugget, so I'll have to let you know....

Coturnix start laying around 6-8 weeks old normally (as long as under 14 hours of light daily).

Buttons, can lay as early as 6 weeks however most say they lay several weeks later.
