G'day

At the mo, at work we keep Stubble, Brown Quails, Black-breasted & Painted Button-quails. We did have Red-backed, Red-chested, Little Button-quails & King Quails...

I have kept, Californian, Bobwhites, Japs, Kings and now I am trying to get my hand on Common Quail (Coturnix coturnix) ;)

Um...with Button-quails, only the males sit and incubate the eggs. If you have any problems, remove the female from the aviary :)

What species of Button-quail are they?

If she is sitting in the nest, she is most likely trying to lay an egg...

Jeez, someone hasn't done their homework :P hehe

...and yes ;)
