Cute as a Button Quail...

- Hatching button quail eggs from Ebay can be difficult...but ever since we set foot on our homestead we have wanted button quail. They are tiny, cute, and the eggs are incredibly varied and beautiful. They were not among our first animals because we were not sure how practical it would be to begin our homesteading journey raising teeny tiny dinky little quail. But we have come to learn that buttons can fit in the tiny cracks of our homestead heart...much like ice cream after an all you can eat buffet...there is always a little room especially for these...the tiniest homestead creatures!

We have 4 kids and a 5 acre farm here in Northern California. We have made a commitment to learning how to raise our own food, as fast as we can, in the most fun way possible. This is a journey of us learning how to provide more for ourselves.

Those things are itty bitty. Overall I’d say that was a very successful hatch. The eggs look so cool, it’s like the Easter egger of the quail world.
we are excited for the variety...we may. not be able to make many omelets but they are fun!
This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "raising quail in alabama" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Eeyila Rudimentary Expediency - (do a google search ) ? It is a good exclusive guide for discovering how to raise healthy and fertile quail minus the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.

Happy Bird day to you
So cute
Nature finds a way....you're totally right....glad your kids can learn these lessons at a young age
Thanks Josh! The kids are really enjoying these little guys!
It is day 16 here. I can't wait to see my baby buttons 😍
They are so tiny and cute. I hope you all are super blessed in your quail endevour.
They are...we have enjoyed them so much so far! Thanks so much!
Thank you
so cute
They're so adorable! I definitely want to hatch some and have some as pets one day. I heard they can be very cuddly and sweet if you train them right from a young age.
I feel sorry for the dead quail. Poor darling 😢
God bless you two dear couple. You are extremely graced with kindness and I hope every quail egg goes to your kind farm.
Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness, the size of a grape!!!! 💗 Our button quail will be hatching in the next few days. I cannot wait!!!!! Love this video.
So cool! keep us updated!
Very cute guys!
Thank you Seth Rogens brother for learning me 'bout Quails
No problem 😂
It's not often that I come across a video that I have an impulse to like multiple times. I keep realizing I already like it! Absolutely adorable and very informative. Thanks!
What an incredibly nice comment! The buttons have become one of our most favorite animals.
I bought all my quail stuff and eggs at 4 in the morning one night, no regrets!
So tiny...never ever thought about ebay for eggs. We just bought our first incubator. Oh my. So small. Lol you put them in your mug? Lol they are adorable. Thanks for sharing.
Paige family Homestead Our Journey back you can...and if you want something that isn’t local for you...or even rare...it’s a good option! It can get addictive though!
Button quail are so tiny! Love hatching them! 😍
They are adorable!
So cute. . Thanks for sharing. I think 2021 i am going to start Quail.
We highly recommend them...2021 may be the year of the bees for us 😊
How Adorable these are and their new beginning of life with Your Family On Your Land, It's awesome, Congratulations to you and may all be blessed to live and Prosper, thank you for sharing your new experiences and your new additions to the farm!

Flash...sometimes he goes like vrooommmmm 💨 sometimes like shhhhhhhhhh 💨 super fast 💨 😂
Hope they are still with you guys abs doing well. Quails are the best “small chickens” for small spaces.
Yes! We still have them and they are doing great! Laying us eggs like no ones business! They are so fun!
Just bought some off Ebay. Packaged just like your!
Do you know which state? We got ours from Missouri!
@@4KidsandaFarm Mine too!!! From a store called Cuebur
Ha! I just got my 20 eggs yesterday from the same seller. I started them this afternoon 😀 I am so excited!!
He has a really deep voice
Yes he does 🙂
Oh wow those things are tiny
The Citystead I’m sure you have space for some of these 😉
Adorable
These are sooooo absolutely 💯 adorable. Cuteness overload for sure. Thank you soooo much for sharing I needed this tonight. God bless & be with you all always ❤ 🙏 💛
Thank you for watching...it makes our heart happy that it made your day better.
It’s amazing what you can buy online. Overall looks like a very successful hatch. 👍👍
Farmer G that’s the danger 😊 definitely more hatched than we thought after shopping from Missouri!
Y’all are having too much fun with those eggs. You need som Ostrich eggs.😜
Saw some of these hatch on Cog Hill Farms site yesterday! They are so tiny and cute! Love your channel and always look forward to the next one!!!
Tracie Evans thanks! That are tiny! And thanks for watching and commenting...we love having you here!
Awe! So tiny! How adorable! ❤️
we couldn't agree more!
It's spook cute!
Nice video guys!!!
Thanks Noel...we are very quail oriented right now 😂
Rescued a juvenile male from a pet store a few weeks ago... he had a giant gash on his head and the others in the cage were pecking him... brought him home and gave him some Colloidal Silver he's as good as new! Went back to the store today and found an egg! They gave it to me and I've placed it in a makeshift incubator. Let's see where it goes! (Super hard to tell if it's viable or not :/ )
yeah, those button quail eggs are impossible to candle. Good luck with the incubation...and keep us updated!
Thanks! I candled it again today and there's definitely something inside! Whether it's alive or not is a different story... the temp spiked for a couple hours the other day, it might just be fried egg 😶
AHHHHHHHHHHHH THEY ARE SO CUTE!
So so cute 😊. Thanks!
Would be so amazing if you could do another video just all about the incubator, show us how it turns the eggs. Get into all the details. Would be so awesome
Great idea! Next time we incubate some eggs I will do just that. Thanks!
I adore them 💓
They make good feeders for snakes and lizards
seeds wont end up in the final salve.
I’m new here saw your comment on White House on the hills channel
I love quails but I’m not allowed them cuz my parents say too may budges and chickens
We have bees at our place u should definitely get bees
We would love them on our land and we do have plans for 🐝...how many hives do you have?
2 at the moment have plans to get more
Adorable!!
Wander Lost 😊☺️🥰
White House on the hill hatched these too
😊 we sent them the eggs 😊
Peep peep!

Awesome! Thank you so much!
Button Quail are not quail. We had a couple a few (30) years ago. We enjoyed them, they just lived in the bottom of a large cockatiel cage.
David J. MacKinney right! These guys won’t put a whole lot of dinner/breakfast on the table
The species we call button quail here are not actually button quail but Chinese Painted Quail aka King Quail and they are true quails. The other bird called button quail are bigger than these guys and like you say are not true quail.
Okay, you got me hooked with the quails! So cute! What part of Northern California are you located at? Are you close to the fires? Finally, stopped raining ash from Azusa- Ranch Fire in Pasadena, Ca.
Tricia Acevedo we are in the Sacramento valley and thankfully we are far from the fires. Do you raise quail? They are an incredibly cute addition to any home 😊
great video! I am so getting some! Question: did you need to do anything different with the floor of their coop that you didn’t have to do with your other quail because of their size? Thanks again!
So actually they are on a dirt floor. We couldn’t find hardware cloth small enough for their tiny feet. We would recommend a hard surface bottom for them. Good luck! They are fun!
I just put mine in lockdown, and 3 had the air cell on its side. Is this normal? And one had a big aircell. I'm so nervous about this.
6:31 I think he has a splayed leg
I bought a 10 gallon tank w/ screen top. Is that big enough for 8 button quails? Thank you
What candler do you find works best vs quail eggs???
Kali Lady Hawke oh, thanks for reminding us! We will link it in the notes...but the magic fly on amazon is cheap and powerful.
Thanks! Please let me know if a 10 gallon tank is big enough for 8 button quail? Thank you
It sounds a bit small.
@@4KidsandaFarm You’re right, sending it back and ordered about 60” long cage. 🐦😊
Can you hatch grocery store bought quail eggs? I want to try hatching it when I get a new incubator
Probably not. They will be to old and probably arn’t fertile. Best to get them fresh locally or shipped in a hurry so they are fresh.
Ok so I've seen people get chicks in the mail. Didn't know that was a thing. Seen people get bees in the mail. Also, didn't know that was a thing. And now you're telling me you can get eggs in the mail. Wow. Is there anything at all that can't be shipped in the mail? Bummer about the ones that were no good. Oh my gosh it's so darn tiny!! Awww they're so cute! Ok the one you kept pushing out with the qtip doesn't seem too smart LOL. Aww very sad you lost one. Hope enough survived to make it worth the money spent.
Happy Place Camping they are so worth it...the only thing you probably can’t get in the mail is probably a milk cow 😂 thanks for commenting...we appreciate it...and totally recommend quail!
Thanks! I have a question. I ordered a 10 gallon tank Ayer brooder is a 10 gallon tank big enough for 8 quail, button ? Or what is your advice?please help me? Thank you They will stay in my room.
What kind of incubator is that
Brinsea...its been great for us.
Hi do you sell the button eggs
7:27 😢😢😢
Hi when do they star eating them selfs I have some and they look weak not sure if I have to feed them help please
you definitely should feed them. they need something with 30% protein in it.
Do you happened to have a video were you show how to feed them thank you
@@mg-jj1kg Hatching our Quail Eggs (in our Brinsea Ovation)
th-cam.com/video/Uxd5n_qcrrE/w-d-xo.html
But really, blend up the feed so it’s super small.
Then put it on a shallow plate for them to eat.
Do they fly ?
Oh, yes they do. We accidentally had a few escape and they fly far!
@@4KidsandaFarm ohh wow okay thanks
@@4KidsandaFarm did they came back
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE DID NOT MAKE IT IM SO SAD;[
It’s always a bummer when they don’t make it 😢
@@4KidsandaFarm ikr so sad
They are so small... what are you goi g to do with them??? Sent you an email
For fun...and for eggs 😊
Can you not candle them ?
The eggs are so small and the shell so thick we could make out much.
Open the hatch too soon you shrink-wrap them..needlessly dead.
how to buy this bird
Well it depends on where you are at. We ordered them online from a hatchery in Missouri.
@@4KidsandaFarm i am from Bangladesh...how to buy way...plz
@@skrakib5749 you will have to find someone local to you that sells them. If we have them here in the US I’m sure you can find some near you.
@@4KidsandaFarm other options
What gives with the sad song when they hatching 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤣🤣 who they missing? 🤣🤣
You should not open you incubator that much when it is in lockdown.
You are completely right! We were to new and to tempted!
Why open the incubator during hatch? That kills the birds! Do not open until all birds are dry.
We have yet to have one die...we only open it when they are ready to move.
not much meat on those birds!.....Larry @ Scoot"s Organic
no doubt...we have the coturnix for that...but from what we hear buttons are okay for meat as well...just less bites 😀
They're great fun to watch, now that they are fully grown try giving them sand and hard wood ash for dust bathing and live small crickets and mealworms they go crazy for them :)
We also made videos on quail hatching and raising maybe you can find some helpful info from our mini series th-cam.com/video/nJiVIxGv8dE/w-d-xo.html
P.S The eggs are nice pickled don't waste your time trying to make an omelette with them lol
Thanks for the tips!
I don't think these are Button-quail at all. These look like chicks of true Quail . These are two completely different groups of birds (in different orders). I think I can see a hind toe. Button-quails don't have a hind toe. That is the easiest way to tell them apart. I am not aware that any Button-quail have been bred into different colour morphs.
Button Quail have one of the broadest spectrum of color morphs. If you google "button quail color mutation" you will see quite a chart of different patterns and colorations.
Technically you're right and wrong. The species we call button quail here are not actually button quail but Chinese Painted Quail aka King Quail and they are true quails. The other bird called button quail are bigger than these guys and like you say are not true quail.
whats his name? darth vader.....SLAP!!!! no..just no..
So cute!!!
give us a few months and you will have some too 😂
