I only have 1 pair....so its just them and right now their 8 baby's. I have another cage with 3 of their older babies.

How long is she off? My hen got off a few times a day to eat. All was fine without anything.

my pair are in a guinea pig cage. I have a wooden box with fake flowers leaving a small opening. this picture is momma and her first baby laying on top of the box.

Congratulations! My momma just hatched 8. She too chases daddy when she wants to sit but I add him back in a day or 2 after she gets off the nest and he helps wonderful. Mine are a week old.

Thanks for the info. Waiting on some eggs for the bator once its warmer for shipping. Hoping for new blood and colors.

My button quail momma just hatched out 8 babies out of 9 eggs. I now have 11 babies from this pair. Momma is the wild color and dad is a red breasted but we have 3 light colored babies the rest are dark. So cute! Can they breed together...hows that work?

Cant help you there...sorry. I have used flour on dogs horses and birds for bleeding. I never bandaged. I have used neosporin before.

I would try putting the foot in flour...thats what I have done before

Thank you again GrandmaBird!! I am planning to get eggs next week and hopefully will get a few other pairs. Love these little guys. Always been a bird lover. So excited to see what we get :)

So having just a group together isn't a good idea. Just thinking ahead as I wanted to get more and other colors but didnt know about extras ..... finding eggs is easier then birds. Right now I have 2 cages...I have a small wooden box in the corner which is where I find eggs and momma sat and...

I've been told buttons don't do good in winters outside? So how do you all house them? Looking for a nice looking set-up for inside my home. And can you house boys together without females with no fighting??

I plan to get other eggs and wanted to save some of hers to add to the bator together. Thank you!

Thank you!

My hen hatched a baby 2 weeks ago. Apparently they are not like chickens and will start laying again. I have gotten 6 eggs from her since the baby hatched. How long can I hold the eggs to add them to incubator?
