What breed of quail are these? Link provided, Price okay?

[quailbrain]

"Button quail" is actually a nick name in America for Chinese Blue-breasted quail... that's why the link says Chinese Quail. The actual ButtonQuail is really a crane family and not a quail at all and although the crane version of Buttonquail is about the same size they look much different.

I'm sure you will enjoy these guys cause they are great!!!!

Here is a comparison picture of Button and Coturnix.

Newly hatched Buttons are about the size of a Bumble Bee. lol

Okay thanks. I thought eggs would be much smaller than the coturnix but they don't appear to be. I was given 15 coturnix eggs (because they were getting old) I'm hoping they'll hatch but don't have much hope. After doing some research I thought the buttons were just so cute!

Here's some egg examples.... On the left a normal button egg, the middle a double yolk button, the right is a coturnix.

Thanks for the eggs-amples.

In your pic the button egg does seem quite a bit smaller than the coturnix egg.
