@AdamWong10 I have a video on that and i think it's called " how to keep button quails toes clean" i soak them in water while they walk around until the poop falls off. try to keep them dry so only the feet should be in water that is warm.place them in a small room with lamp over them or laundry room with dryer running for warmth in the air. take a look at th video it should help?
@eliden it's chichilla dust/sand that you can buy at a pet shop. I have a video on it but i would have to look it up for you if you like so you cn look into it? thanks
I just bought 4 coturnix hens ...trying to research feed....lots of great info here. I am so excited as my husband eats eggs lie crazy and I want to come out of the market, Thank you!!!
@FunnyGuy8890 i do i have 5 colors and are in with only ther color type. i send them priority mail which take 2-3 days to get to you and I try to add a few extras if they lay well.
what kind of quails? bigger one's lay daily and take 18 days to hatch. some breeds don't breed on a regular basis so it depends. if they are California quail i noticed they like to lay in the hot of summer and they don't lay all the time. button quails lay daily forever and so do coturnix. they don't like to sit as much but they hatch well in incubators...:)
@AdamWong10 no not at all from that amount of inches away you should be good. I have moved eggs alittle rough on accident and they still hatch. 10/10 hatched and they were all Tuxcedo pieds.
@roscoepecotrain25 one tip i can think of is get more eggs than you will need since ordering eggs and having them ship can bring the hatch rate down to 40% lower. so for an example. if you ordered 10 eggs 4-5 will hatch. If your wants atleast 10 button quails order 20-25 eggs. Now later when you incubate you will put 10 eggs in the incubator and 9-10 eggs will hatch if you do everything right. ask away and ill do my best to answer the same day. good luck and I would love to see your babies.
Hey Erlier I accidently dropped an egg from about 2inches high and it hit another egg but I think luckily that none of the two eggs were damaged but would it cause internal damage?
It depends on the breed of quail . with button quails 16days with coturnix 18 and with other breeds they start in the spring and fall and have to be about 6 months or so ;)
I would just let the lid open also do you need a farm to raise them or a house second question is if house can I walk them in the garden to explore for probably 5-3 minutes? and last question is can they live in a apartment?
The white ones are button quail and the larger ones are coturnix. It is best not to keep them together though because the coturnix are larger and can hurt the buttons
@MrOmgMiko actually they do. they need water at all times otherwise if they don't drink water in 24 hours they are just about dead the next day. same with food. they have so many eggs that they need protein and water. the males mostly water
i house mine indoors since I live in Seattle and today it's 37. Button Quails weigh only 1.5 oz so you should use a heat lamp just in case if you do house them outdoors. a lot of people in florida house them at the moment but they said it's been around 45 degrees at night and 75 during the day. If it"s to house just make sure they have lots of shade and always keep water at all times one day missed they are died. yes i keep mine in a 44 inch wide cage make for indoor pets thanks for the comment
yes on both of your questions.they lay daily but make sure they have calcium every day since they do lay eggs otherwise the will die on you after one year. also they eat all the seeds from the bottom of the cage that finches spill :)
So, since you have a group of button quail (male & females), along with the Tibetan quails as a pair and they seem to all get along fine; Would a trio of Japanese quail go well with a pair of button quail? I have a trio of Japanese quail already and they're kept outdoors, but saw these ADORABLE button quail at the petstore (as a pair) and really want to get them, but I don't know if they'll get along well... And you seem like a quail expert. (:
sahlool NO. If you eat a fertile egg it's fine. But if it has been incubated in an incubator or sat on by a hen then it would be horrible because it would have started to grow
I love the white quails. Do you house them indoors ? I ask as we are considering buttons for outdoors but it is hot here (S.Florida) it is in mid 80s today but hits 90s to 100 plus in summer so we might just keep inside . I think you are using a guinea pig/ rabbit type cage in video? I never thought of that .
They should be ok outside as long as they have water, shade, etc. You dont want them to get too cold however if it gets under 30 degrees then they should come inside they are not very cold hardy
@charliesweb1k I know i like it when my budgies go on the cage bottom and the male gets all pooofy and chases them well i hope you get a great hatch will you still have the wild type when you send me some eggs
angel mendez jr i don't sorry i have sold off many pairs when i moved and kept a few. i have hatched a few white one's out from what i have :) 10 eggs two hatched out white
@dave1212ish Oh good i was worried it was to long. all of the buttons are now fully feathered since i took out some of the bald girls and gave them 2 weeks rest from mating but they did not stop laying of course. thanks
Hey Charlie, just giving you ideas of what to feed them if it helps you :D so you probably already know that they like hard boiled chicken eggs . Weird huh? They also like cucumbers. Give them a piece and tie it to the cage. They will peck at it. They also loved chopped up tomatoes. Me and my friend gave her quails diced tomato pieces... They ate the whole plate. They will also eat greens. Grass and lettuce, you probably know this to. :) ok so that's what we got and you can feed them bird seeds
they eat everything:) but i feed them chicken food a very high protein. they also eat finch seed mix and all greens plus grass from the yard and dandelions..:0
quails and chickens can lay eggs with or with out a male. eggs are like a period and they get rid of them daily. bit if you have a male then they are fertile eggs. so they will still lay eggs with out a male being around.
Thanks for the reply have an excellent half term(holiday) if you have one lol and to you dave!! :) thanks again Charlie hope you have healthy and happy quails! .
+Kanyon Tyner ?? :) to answer a question you asked 9 mo ago which i never got from youtube to notify me. I have not had buttons since 2011. at the moment i am selling all indoor finches and parrots since i no longer keeping them. I ll have a few until i sell those too :) Im just keeping farm animals for now .
it when the males grab on to them and hold them they use the beak to get onto the backs and mate with the hens. male buttons are rapest and will mate with a hen while she is eatting or drinking water. buttons mate about 100 times a day and so after a while the have missing feathers. take them out of a month and letting them rest is a good idea in a darker lighting so she wont lay eggs. thanks for asking.:)
Cool video bro, thanks for sharing!! how many types of quails are there ?? and what types are them ?? do you know if I can have regular chickens and quails together ??
you need a male and female to make fertile eggs . if he is gone, dead, missing, or just in another cage then the eggs are not fertile. The male has to mate with her in order for that current egg to come out fertile. if he does not mate with her then that one eggs is infertile. hope that helps a little ? :)
one thing it could be is to much cleaning the cage will keep them from laying, moving nest box around is what i do to keep mine from laying, moving the cage around will keep them from laying give less hours in the day will keep them from laying. but im not sure what's happening either. don't give up since laying to many eggs can shorten the life a button to 1 year so it's a good thing she don't lay daily. but i know you want to see eggs too...:)
@AdamWong10 I have a video on that and i think it's called " how to keep button quails toes clean" i soak them in water while they walk around until the poop falls off. try to keep them dry so only the feet should be in water that is warm.place them in a small room with lamp over them or laundry room with dryer running for warmth in the air. take a look at th video it should help?

Cute quails! Birds are my favorite animals!
Same
Same
@MrOmgMiko tell me about it. i used water bottles but you have to buy the huge one it last's about 3-4 days for 7 quails in a cage.
what kind of quails? bigger one's lay daily and take 18 days to hatch. some breeds don't breed on a regular basis so it depends. if they are California quail i noticed they like to lay in the hot of summer and they don't lay all the time. button quails lay daily forever and so do coturnix. they don't like to sit as much but they hatch well in incubators...:)
how much you sale the eggs and video how to tell male or female for the qauil
Do you think you could make a video on putting the bands on their feet?
what feeds do you feed your quails for breeding and how many days to lay egg
what kind are the white ones and how do you tell male from female thanks
@AdamWong10 no not at all from that amount of inches away you should be good. I have moved eggs alittle rough on accident and they still hatch. 10/10 hatched and they were all Tuxcedo pieds.
then are they fertilized?
@AdamWong10 that sounds just fine. they like the extra heat which will keep them from getting cold and dry fast.
How much per head or per egg quail... Thank you God bless us
@roscoepecotrain25 one tip i can think of is get more eggs than you will need since ordering eggs and having them ship can bring the hatch rate down to 40% lower. so for an example. if you ordered 10 eggs 4-5 will hatch.

@roscoepecotrain25 .....that sounds great i would love to see your video on the quails. if you like you can even add it as a video response/VR.
at what age they are ready to lay egg ? and after how many days after mating they lay egg? and how to recognize their age? and gender?
Cool video bro, thanks for sharing!! how many types of quails are there ?? and what types are them ?? do you know if I can have regular chickens and quails together ??
r u still selling eggs
can 2 live in a 10 gallon fish tank full of woodshaving bedding?
Tanks are not really the best option for them I would recommend a large guinea pig cage
What do I do if my quail isn't laying on her egg!!! Im concerned 😟
you need a male and female to make fertile eggs . if he is gone, dead, missing, or just in another cage then the eggs are not fertile. The male has to mate with her in order for that current egg to come out fertile. if he does not mate with her then that one eggs is infertile. hope that helps a little ? :)
