No problems. I know that its difficult to navigate BYC at first. Don't worry - you'll be a pro in no time

I just wanted to inform you so that you wouldn't be alarmed if you see that you thread has moved - that's all.

A couple of square feet per bird is ok for buttons. In general they should do well if you feed them game bird starter crumble, but a yours are males (won't be laying eggs) and adults (don't need extra protein to grow), you'd probably get away with feeding them chicken chick starter crumbs.
If buttons are happy, in general they don't make much noise - an occasional call every now and then and just tiny peeps apart from that. I've kept groups of young males together before though, and those seem to be making quite a bit more noise than the males in my pairs/trios/breeding groups. That might have been because they were able to hear one of my breeding groups though - they might have been trying to impress the females.

Anything above 2 months is considered adult, so no.
