I bought 6 button quail that are 3 weeks old today in Ottawa. The seller hatched them Oct 21st. She got them also from Breezy Bird farms and like me ordered a dozen except she got a 100% hatch on shipped eggs! She says she didn’t turn them the first week to help aircells reattach.

Splash- the largest one so I think it is female.

Silver pied or silver tuxedo

The tuxedo was pecking at the small red breasted chick so I put him in the tote bin that she gave me. He was quiet for about half an hour then started crowing. About half an hour after that the splash was pecking at the younger silver pied or tuxedo chick so she joined the tuxedo. The other 4 seem to be getting along with the littles so far.
