Tell me everything I need to know about raising button quail!

I noticed this one’s wings are starting to look like this is that normal?

Sometimes their wing feathers grow faster than the rest....just a qwerk in the quails metabolism, nothing to worry about at this time.

That doesn't look normal to me. What are you feeding them?

No it doesn't look 'normal' but I've seen hundreds of chick's look this way and eventually, actually pretty soon the rest of their body and feathers grow to look like how normally you'd see them look.

I agree, it doesn't look like a problem, but the remainder of the feathers should catch up shortly.

if they were too cool for a while, keep an eye out for pasty butt. It seems to happen with chilled birds more often IMO.

Either way, chilled or too warm. Especially, other species of quail, like Mountain quail....too warm = pasty butt.
