I hatched some coutnex quail and button quail this year.The one thing i have learned is you need to put marbles in the waterer! they will drown in a teaspoon of water!grind the starter down to the size of corn meal for a lil while.they hatch in tlike 16 or 17 days.they need a lid on the brooder as they start jumping when startled really soon.They need a cage with eather a soft top or one a couple of feet high to keep them from killing themselves when they jump up and hit the top.mine hatched on easter and i have since moved them into my ringneck dove flight.They tend to stay very close to me when im in there and will come right out with me if im not careful.
