    Pics of all the diffrent Button Quail colours please?

    Here are mine. I assume the white chicks are called whites. I assumed these were a black tux male (but he has blue hues too), a wild type female(?), silver/grey tux (m), and my conjoined birds. Just kidding… they always sleep butt to butt like this. One is a gray male with some pastel colors...

    You have some gorgeous buttons! I love the red breasted female! I also assumed all Tux were male. 🤪 I have two tux, both male.

    Pics of all the diffrent Button Quail colours please?

    what color is this? Still a chick, but it looks like some button superhero with the yellow swirls around the eyes. I also hatched what looks like will be a trio of whites a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful! Really hope there’s a roo and a hen in the group, but I tend to have bad luck. They...

    How to help this button? Curled toes? Malpositioned.

    That’s good to know! I have people coming to pick up chicks tomorrow. They’ve been waiting a few weeks for this hatch. Thank you so much for being so responsive…you’ve been incredibly helpful! I’ve only kept 3 pair of buttons for about 8 months. Any eggs I hatched were from my own hens and...

    Crippled chick help

    What is a chick chair, btw? I get very attached, almost from the moment they hatch. They’re so sweet. I’ve had to deal with a few button chick deaths this week, and I always cry. I’m sorry to hear of the losses.

    How to help this button? Curled toes? Malpositioned.

    Oh, I have separate brooders for the them. They were just posing for a pic. Every time I hatch these guys, I forget how small they always are, and how quickly they grow! Someone is coming to pick up most of the older birds tomorrow…except for a couple of whites and “skinny Pete” who had the...

    Australorp Males: Who to keep/cull

    I don’t know anything about standards, but they are all posing so nicely. If I were to pick the most visually pleasing, I’d say blue and yellow, but it may just be a camera angle thing.

    How to help this button? Curled toes? Malpositioned.

    I don’t think the weak olds like being with the newly hatched. Everyone tried to run under him. Lol

    How to help this button? Curled toes? Malpositioned.

    His toes were so bad, I almost had him euthanized. Toe taping is totally possible for button quail, especially if you have an extra set of hands. The masking tape shoe video is the route we went. I fixed another from a hatch yesterday, and it is walking fine after just one day of tape (I...

    Is this guy sick? What could it be???

    :( I was hoping there was some magical tape method for what’s looking like some form of scoliosis. The center line of pin feathers coming in is very curved now.

    Is this guy sick? What could it be???

    I’ll post this in the quail forum too. I have never seen this. This chick hatched unassisted but looked different from the beginning. He was very thin and walked very upright. A few days later, his left was protruding between his wing and body and he had a weird stance, putting the left...

    I'm so old I Remember when:

    I was threatened with so many “licks” because my friend pulled a boy’s pants down while he was dangling from the monkey bars. I had no part in it and still got in as much trouble!!! And I’m still upset! lol
