About how many times do they go broody each year?!

At least twice. They went broody in April/May and now the same ones are broody again. Their just not great mothers....

Button quail eggs are starting to pip! Hopefully most will be hatched later today, since they tend to hatch really fast.

4 baby buttons in total. I cracked the other 5 eggs open and most were fully developed but never hatched for some reason. 1st Serama egg has also pipped.

They are so cute!!
I’ve raised Coturnix quail before and I loved them. I really want to get some buttons!
Did the Serama chick hatch?

Sadly the button quail chicks didn't make it. I'm not exactly sure why but I think they got too cold. It sucks I really wanted to see them grow up and what colors they were. I just collected 16 more button quail eggs I'm about to put in the incubator. 6 Seramas ended up hatching in total. I finally got 3 more yellow ones, and judging by the pin feathers it looks like they will stay pure white, so that's pretty cool.

I moved the peafowl back into the middle coop by themselves, and moved the 3 month old chicks into the main flock. I think there is about 13 of them left. I still have 2 cockerals to sell but I'm keeping the rest. Hopefully I can get started on the aviary soon so the peafowl have a bigger better area, especially before winter comes

Thanks for the updates, Birb!
Good to see the birds, sorry for the losses, and congratulations on the hatches/wins!
