Thanks so much folks! The reason I asked is, my roo met with an unfortunate end 😔 so upset about it. But with him out if the nest not chasing them one of my lady buttons went broody. Didn't have the heart to take the eggs out so I let her sit on them and put 7 I had already collected in the...

Question about breeding button quail- I have/had a trio of buttons, 1 male 2 female, and I want to hatch their babies. I've seen the male mate with one of the females many times, not too sure about the other one. I've collected about 7 eggs, but they're from both females. Not sure if this is a...

First time raising quail and I let them run around my backyard in an enclosure. Recently discovered my cat has fleas, just treated her with flea medicine and gave her a bath, and wondering if I should be concerned about my button quail? Both the cat and quail hang out in my yard and we get a lot...

Yayyy!!! 😂 thank you! Don't think I'm ready to start pressing on anything, kind of creeped me out enough that it looked like it was breathing 🤣

Updated photos of all 3 (order #3, #1 & #2)

Maybe not the best photo I could have gotten sorry. ??

I flipped #2 over for a look at vent today, no idea what I'm looking at but no red or blue anywhere. Couldn't get a good pic of vent b/c I had to push feathers aside to even see, need more hands. Going to try to get a pic later when I can get some help 😂

Thank you! They'll be 8wks this Friday so I should start seeing some eggs and find out about #2. So upset right now though because my little #1, Riker, hit her head today flying around my house and got a cut 😭. I cleaned it with some hydrogen peroxide on a q-tip, put on a few layers of liquid...

Hello friends! Anyone able to help with sex & color ID of my button quail? 5 weeks old, been trying to ID them by reading other posts and comparing pics but I really have no idea, no prior experience. These are my best guesses but second opinions are greatly appreciated. 1. Normal wild type or...

Hoping to be able to tell soon, their feathers have started coming in 🤗 But they are only 11/10/8 days old 😂 in picture order - Riker (my little #1 🖖), Frida (hatched on Cinco de Mayo), and Henny Penny (formerly curled toes). I'll take guesses as to color and sex, I was hoping since they're...

Yeah I think the incubator I got isn't very good. I had two thermometer/hygrometers in the incubator which were reading differently both from each other and from the incubator 🤦🏻‍♀️. I had the incubator running 2 days before I put my eggs in, temp and humidity were on point until I opened it to...

:clap Bandaid shoes are off! Did a water soak with a tiny bit of baby soap. Toes are much straighter though not as separated as the others but at least the feet are making contact with the ground. Walking a bit awkwardly but hopefully just adjusting now that the bandaids are off. This is her (or...

😂 so it seems like he's doing great! I have him in with the other two and they were pecking at the bandaids at first but they stopped, I think just curious. They all seem to be getting along and he's straightening his legs now (he was hobbling along the ground before). Next challenge will be...

Okay that was a little overly optimistic of me... even when I managed to get the tape on with the toes fairly straight he couldn't really walk that way. I guess I just had to try 😮‍💨🤷‍♀️ Ok so I tried again this time with bandaids and it seems not too bad. Not sure how straight the toes are...

He's starting to look a bit better, has more energy, is hobbling around the incubator and I think his neck is okay, he's preening/fluffing up his little baby fuzz with his beak. I'm not sure what hobbling is? I read a post about making paper tape "shoes" to straighten toes, might try that...

Thank you for such a quick response. I helped assist very gently with a pair of tweezers, did not see any blood and membrane didnt look dried out. But yeah not looking too good 😕 definitely curled toes on at least one leg and possibly wry neck I can't tell, having trouble standing. Is this from...

Hello! 👋 New here, looking for advice. I'm hatching button quail and I know this is a frequent question, I've read some of the other posts and going back and forth trying to decide if I should assist one of my chicks that has pipped and not making progress. Background info - this is my first...

Hello! Finally joining this site after learning from it everything I can about button quail. Hatching my first babies, 12 went in the incubator, so far 2 running around being cute and one pipping! 🤞 Wish us luck! -Deb, NYC
