They are cute. What do you do with them and how do you house them.

These will actually stay in my house. I have a cage set up for them. They do well in aquariums or wire cages...Have to use a smaller wire b/c they're so small! Also, no hard wire cover, they like to "boink" and break their necks!! Here's the link to Garries site, he's who I got my eggs from...

I used to have a breeding flock of button quail in my aviary I gave them to my friend though they were especialy cool when the go broody and hatch their own every body should have some mine were the best I just don't have time for them or a place for them right now.

Good luck with you buttons

I missed the third, too! Went to bed at 11:45, DD woke me up at 12:30, and I have another baby!! I think they're plotting against me!

They are just adorable! They look like they are coming out of little chocolate eggs!

Congrats on the babies!!! I have 13 and they are great. For anyone that is interested send me a message and we can figure out a price. It is to cold right now for me to ship but the temps are suppose to be warming up soon. I sold a bunch on ebay and kept track of the hatches. I had 2 sets that didnt hatch anything, I think they were x-rayed. People before and after had at least 50 % or better. I get about 4 to 6 eggs a day. Cher, if you want different babies let me know when you want more eggs.
