Pics of the new Button Quail babies

Here are some pics I took of the new quail babies.

Here is one with my size 6 1/2 ring on it to show how small it truly is.

And here is one next to a penny for size comparison:

Hope you enjoy them.

Amazing! Thanks for posting the pictures with the ring and penny for size reference. I would never have guessed how small they are! Even though I have seen quail eggs.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what does one do with the quail raised?

You don't really have to do anything with them. They are too tiny to eat in my opinion. I have heard some say they pickle the eggs but they are so tiny I can't imagine why you would want to. Guess they would make great appetizers though and fancy decorations if you blow the shell out. I guess the same reason you would have a parrot or parakeet?

I just think they are too cute and wanted a few. That is about it.

Oh, I agree with the person who said it was "cuteness overload"!! I am surprised at how tiny they actually are; they don't look like they'd be any bigger than baby society finches (or at least the one that flew out of the straw hanging nest our 5 had been hanging out in

We've had them for nearly a year, so I didn't think we had a fertile pair. Guess what.... LOL! I think I'll call the baby "Surprise"! Thanks for sharing your tiny bitty babies with us!

Marinated and pickled quail eggs are a wonderful delicacy and quail eggs are also used with some potato dishes

I like them, but I don't know ,I think I may like those chicks better hahaha I'm such a sucker for "cute"
