Nesting button quail

Thanks Bossy. I've noticed this morning a 3rd nest of eggs in the making! They love Sydney weather

You can try something novel to distract the male. Put in some new dust bathing areas, bunches of edible greenery, dishes of meal worms etc.

Good luck with your hatches!

Haha, they must be happy little Buttons! How many eggs is that total?

 

[mike1501]

2 of the nests have 8 each and the 3rd currently has 4. The first nest is now 15 days old so any day now they should be running around.

Any news?

5 out of 8 hatched a few days ago. They are loving life.

Second nest due to hatch in a few days. Third nest has 15 eggs but no female is sitting on them. Not sure if it'll turn into anything. Should find out soon.

They are so cute and tiny!! Are they all cinnamon?
