Are you sure that's a button? It looks like coturnix...

I'm pretty sure. All she was selling were buttons.

That one is 2 weeks old and only 2.5" long.

In the last pic of the three, the two little ones are the size of my thumb and the other is a one week old.

Okay. It looks more like a button in the next pics.

I've been watching them carefully all evening. I've seen them all eating and drinking. No signs of trouble walking. The temp under the heat plate is good, they aren't huddling or panting.

At first I was worried about the little ones not drinking. So I found an even smaller, shallower bowl, filled it with tiny pebbles and lukewarm water and now they are definitely drinking.

Btw, these are early birthday presents for myself, which isn't until the 12th. Since we're pet sitting, we won't get to celebrate that day.

My quail wateres came in. I got quart sized canning jars for them. Now I don’t have to worry about food and such getting into their water.
