Another easy way to tame quail is to provide their regular food, but also give them live mealworms as a treat. (Only use the worms as a treat- don’t keep a dish of worms in their cage, so that makes the worms a special treat to look forward to). When you give them the mealworms, make a certain call, such as, “Chick, chick, chick, chick!” At first, make the call and sprinkle the live worms all around and let them eat them. Keep doing that, maybe 4 times a day, generally speaking. Once they really know what the special call means (when you call, they’ll come running to see where you are putting the mealworms). Then begin sprinkling the worms around, but leave your hand among the birds as they look for the worms. Leave a few worms in your palm, too. Soon, when you make the call, they’ll come running and eat the worms out of your hand. Keep doing that for a long time, to really create a habit so the birds associate the human with bringing good things. Some people might be afraid to touch the worms. If so, then scoop up a few worms in a shallow dish and let the birds eat out of the dish while you hold the dish.
I just started raising button quail I ended up hatching 14!!! 😮 anyway one thing I read is because these little things are so active and on the move they need to stay busy with toys and foraging things..if not they will pick on another quail and pluck their feathers from boredom
A good quality incubator is essential. Buy a Brinsea Mini 2 Advance and you’ll have good success if you follow instructions. I’ve hatched 24 Quail from eggs I bought out of the fridge at an Asian Supermarket! Really!
I was given 10 Button Quail eggs from a bird store I visited recently and just one of them hatched. It’s super tiny and super cute! I hate it when only one hatches though since they don’t have any company. When that happens I hold them as much as possible cupped in my hands. They love it since it’s warm and cozy. This little Button Quail Baby I just hatched is just a few days old and it settles right down and falls asleep in my hands. I now have 20 Button Quail Eggs in two Brinsea Mini ll Advance incubators I bought them from ‘Purely Poultry’ and I just candled them tonight on day 7 and seventeen of them appear to be fertile. They guarantee and 80% fertility rate. (I bought 12 and they sent 20).
Loved your video, Sophie. Where did you get those greats nests? What are they filled with? How did your birds like the two kinds of Walmart seed/sprouts? Does your cage have a wire bottom (like the sides) that you put newspaper over and then bedding? How do you clean the cage and how often? Do you have to relocate the birds to do it? Sorry for all the questions but I just rescued a male and three females and I'm trying to do right by them. Ive raised ornamental pheasants for years but these are very different, certainly in size!
Thank you! I made these nest with glass from the dollar tree and i just glued any type of string on it to make it look like a birds nest, i chose glass because its easier to clean, but it also have a hole at the front and top corner so it still has air flow. Yes i use to keep them in a large tupperware like container but it was hard for me to clean so i ended up switching to a large cage like a rabbit cage. And i change the newspaper once every 3 days if you leave the food in they poop more but if you feed them on a schedule it will be less cleaning. Hope this helps !
What is that mix (not the vegetables just the regular feed) that you feed the button quails? also how much space for an enclosure would you say is needed for 2 button quails?
Where can you get your quail eggs to increase your chances of hatching them??? And how come out of let's say 20 of them, five of them make as an example?
Depending on where you get the eggs, but to get the highest percentage of hatchlings try doing a dry hatch, this means you keep the humidity at 15% to 30% until the last 3 days.
How many times do you have to change the bedding I want to have qauil as I believe I work best with birds because they aren't scared of me and I'm not scared of them and I want to care for them and my mom agreed to let me have them
The eggs are delicious! I like to have them boiled and put into different dishes because unlike regular egg yolks quail yolks are soft when boiled, so i also enjoy it in hot pot
Do you sell any of ur button quails? If u do, how much for a pair a female and male? I'm interested in buying a pair or if u have any button quails chicks for sell too. Let me know and I'm located in Fresno, CA.

Luv button quail 💗
Be careful not to leave them without food for too long or they will likely get aggressive with each other.
Sprouting seeds of any kind are rich in vitamin E.
9:46 They’re not mean, they’re just at the top of the pecking order.
@Deacon Mayson why did you comment that here?
What is that mix (not the vegetables just the regular feed) that you feed the button quails? also how much space for an enclosure would you say is needed for 2 button quails?
I just buy chick feed for them, a small bag lasts them a while but i do have a lot of snacks for them

What's the difference between button quail & normal quail ??
There are lots of different species of quail eg button quail coturnix quail bobwhite quail etc
By normal qauil do you mean courtnix ? It's the most common
button quail is a type of quail, just like there are different types of cats and dogs. button quail are smaller even for quail and originally chinese.
How many times do you have to change the bedding I want to have qauil as I believe I work best with birds because they aren't scared of me and I'm not scared of them and I want to care for them and my mom agreed to let me have them
Hi I was wondering where did you get you king Quial from if you mind me ask?
As ifffff they eat out your hands! My two would never let me do that haha
The cuddling thing is hilarious
Lol I'm serious try it haha starve them for a whole day then feed them the same time everyday offer chias and they will come
Hi from Katy Texas you stell have you're button qu. Were did you buy them eggs
May I ask what is the male/female ration in your aviary?
Because these were all hatched together i just let them stay as is, but the correct ratio would be 2 or 3 females to one male.
Do they make a lot of noise? And they also are too cute.
Yes they make noises when they are older but it didn't bother me at all lol
What size do you buy that cage or online
How long does it take to heal plucked feathers because there is one I’m getting for free because it’s neck feathers are plucked from the siblings
Yep my daughters one's eat out of our hands
You feed them every time you come in
شكرا جزيلا من العراق
Where did you get the cage?
Are they loud?
They scream like 3-8 times a day but other than that they’re not loud
Are they button quails? I would have thought the toes make them king quails.
They are button quails !
@@stephanieyang9168 maybe it's just the angle. Button quails have three toes, and others have a fourth going backwards. I thought I counted four.
That is a great idea!
Great video, will you be eating the eggs, if so can you give us ideas...
The eggs are delicious! I like to have them boiled and put into different dishes because unlike regular egg yolks quail yolks are soft when boiled, so i also enjoy it in hot pot
Subbed😆
Do they sleep together like that all the time?
Yes they did lol
Where did you buy quails ?
I ordered them from ebay
Either you have a really tiny hands, or they are on the bigger size.
What did you say here...."chay seeds" ? 0:40
Chia
Do you sell any of ur button quails? If u do, how much for a pair a female and male? I'm interested in buying a pair or if u have any button quails chicks for sell too. Let me know and I'm located in Fresno, CA.
