Button quail, also known as Chinese Painted Quail, are the smallest species of quail in the world. These tiny, ground-dwelling birds are known for their beautiful colors, gentle cooing sounds, and unique personalities.
They are often kept as ornamental or companion birds rather than for egg or meat production. Their small size and relatively quiet nature make them a popular choice for indoor aviaries and small enclosures.
🥚 Hatching Eggs – What to Expect
Our button quail hatching eggs are carefully collected and handled to give you the best possible start.
Incubation period: 16–18 days
Eggs are very small (about the size of a jellybean!)
Hatch rates can vary based on incubation practices
No guarantee on gender ratios (natural variation applies)
Because button quail are so small, proper incubator settings and careful handling are especially important.
As with all hatching eggs, results will vary based on incubation and care practices
***When it comes to hatching eggs and chicks, there is unfortunately no way to guarantee male-to-female ratios. The outcome is naturally random and can vary widely with each hatch.
Because of this, we do not offer guarantees on gender, and our policies do not cover replacements or refunds based on sex ratios.
We always aim to be transparent about this ahead of time so customers can make informed decisions when purchasing hatching eggs or live chicks.
We truly appreciate your understanding, and we are always happy to answer questions or offer guidance if you plan future hatches or purchase live chicks.***
