Button Quail

Chinese Painted Quail AKA Button Quail are the smallest of the Quail family. Only getting 3 inches tall when Adults. The Name Button came from the size of the babies. They are the size of a button when they hatch. These are great pets and become fully mature at 6-8 weeks old. They can start laying eggs as early as 6 weeks old. These adorable birds are also great to have in your Aviary, they will eat what ever bird seed they find on the bottom of the cages. They do best in pairs if in a small cage, but they can live in Colonies if in a very large aviary. The colors that I have are White, Silver, Pearl,  Silver Pearl, Wild Tuxedo, Black/White Tuxedo, Wild Pied, Fallow, Silver Pied, Red Breasted, Golden Pearl, Blue Faced, & Blue Breasted. The Pictures Below are of my Button Quail and the babies that I have hatched from them.
