These Chinese Painted Button Quail hatching eggs are a great choice for customers interested in ornamental quail well suited for small enclosures, aviaries, or carefully managed indoor setups. Button quail are among the smallest poultry species available and are prized for their lively behavior, compact size, and striking natural patterns.
These eggs are fertilized for incubation, and resulting chicks may vary in appearance, markings, and coloration depending on the hatch. Eggs from our flock vary from shades of browns to purples and greens. Button quail mature quickly, typically reaching adulthood within several weeks, and are commonly kept for enjoyment and observation rather than traditional egg production.
