Hi. This is my first post here. I don't have any birds yet, but I am planning on hand-raising some button quail. I have reserched them alot, but I am still wondering what they are like. Please tell me their true temperment. I am very excited, but I need some help preparing for them. Thanks!  |

Hi there, my understand is that they are very hard to tame.. But then again I don't know alot about them.. I know once they have hatched they are independant and don't realiy on their parent's except for warmth.. They start to eat and drink on there own.. I'm sorry I can't be to more help but as I said I don't know alot about them..

Quail like poultry chicks don't require hand-raising as they learn to eat by themselves once shown ofter 2 days old...some at a day old. They need to be shown how to eat and drink from xtremely shallow dishes and they also need a heat source. They should really be raised on chick starter although last season mine would only eat finch seed. You can also give them a bit of mashed boiled egg for the first few days mixed with the starter. Hope this helps....have anwsered your other thread as well
