button quail

I have recently got a pair of button quails about two weeks ago and they just started laying eggs. They have been together for about 2 weeks now and are 2 and a 1/2 months old but are currently not nesting on their eggs. I am wondering if those eggs are fertile and if not what should I do to...

I have a few buttonquail, one of which is a silver male. Back in April, when I was inexperienced, I kept my pair (silver male, brown female) with their offspring (brown male, brown female) in the same cage. The brown roo attacked my silver male and I thought he lost his eyes. The blood dried...

Hey! It's been so long since I've been on here! In September one of my button quail pairs hatched out a single baby (the others pipped and died ). In short, they were terrible parents and I ended up raising him. I'm pretty sure he is as tame as a button quail can be and I love him to death...

I'm a major animal fanatic and I spend a lot of time browsing classified pet ads to see what pets people are rehoming. Today I found an ad for a supposedly 3 year old male button quail, alone, in an absolutely tiny tank, with a hamster wheel, bedding, and a food + water dish. He supposedly...

Hey anyone know why my male button quail just took a turn for the worse?? He does not bother his mate and he used to be very friendly with me. He would sometimes if he was in the mood let me touch him. Now I do anything like try and refill food, water or there sand bowl and he attempts to bite...

First of all, let me start by apologizing for this really long post... I'm a first-time egg-anything hatcher. Never hatched an egg in my life, and never been around hatching eggs. I've only dealt with pre-hatched chicks that Tractor Supply sometimes sells in the late spring. So I've done some...
