That's definately true, but my buttons have been the only ones contributing to the budget so far. Everyone else has been "gimmie, gimmie, gimmieing", lol. The one huge benefit to buttons is that many pet stores will take them as trade-ins. They're also in demand year-round, instead of having the spring rush like some other poultry seems to have. Not to mention that a pair can be raised in a 10g tank or equivalent. They can be tempermental about laying, but once you've got them figured out, you're good as gold. They will lay an egg a day, not often missing a day of lay. They're also quiet birds, don't eat much at all, and are quite beautiful birds. Not to mention that they hatch in 16 days and start to lay in 6-8 weeks.
