Slate button quail. Beautiful color!

[Rashid100]

Hello everyone. Here is a trio of slate button quails hatched. I am breeding this color separately because it's pretty rare compared to most mutations. Let me know what you guys think about this color, the patterns and silver lacing on the feathers are really cool! Also, if anyone is interested in buying eggs from this trio, I'll have an ad up in the buy/sell section, or you can feel free to message me!

They look gorgeous!

I'd love to add some of those beauties to my growing flock when the aviary is built in the near future! So I will keep a close eye on the buy/sell section.

Thank you! It's definitely the most unique color I've had. They're like a dark slate. Here's a link to my eBay ad if anyone is interested: http://m.ebay.com/itm/6-Button-Quai...E-COLOR-NPIP-/252725966014?nav=SELLING_ACTIVE

So I did some research found out that these are actually lanvender button quail, which are a mix of blue face, cinnamon, and silver. This mutation is VERY rare. If anyone is interested there's an auction up for a set of their eggs, only up for one day! http://m.ebay.com/itm/6-Button-Quai...E-COLOR-NPIP-/252725966014?nav=SELLING_ACTIVE

Very pretty. I love the blue and self blue colors in birds.
