Also known as the Button Quail or the Chinese-painted Quail, these characteristic small birds are prevalent among homesteaders and poultry owners. They’re beautiful birds with colorful feathers, weighing about 1.5 – 2 ounces. They mature very fast, reaching full maturity in about 12 weeks.
Button quails die quickly, due to the stress of laying eggs. They produce tiny eggs, and might not be a good fit if you’re looking to have lots of eggs. They’re, however, better birds when it comes to brooding over their chicks.
They are native to warm climates, so hardly do well in cold temperatures. It’s better to keep them in cages indoors, except you live in a warm area. The King quail prefers to be in the company of other birds, and so you should keep them with at least one other bird.
Button Quails are great pets and can be an excellent addition to your aviary. As long as you have quality quail feed and water in the aviary, they’ll do just fine.
