Button+Quail

=//**Button Quail**//= We are going to be incubating button quail eggs. I ordered eggs from ebay to practice working with quail.

Button quail are the smallest species of quail in the world. Here is an egg comparison between chicken eggs and button quail eggs.

The quail eggs were placed in the incubator at 5:00PM Wednesday 31 Aug 2011.

We are ready for these amazing little creatures to hatch. Hatching expected on 16 Sept 2011.
