This marks our third clutch of baby Chinese Button Quail to hatch. This morning we had a little baby born into the world sometime between 10pm last night March 16th and 7 am today March 17th. It was all alone and chirping quite a bit as if to say "hey come on everyone, it's great out here!" They are so cute when they are that small...still trying to find their legs to stand on and figuring out balance etc. About an hour later a little darkie was born. He's struggling a little, but that's to be expected during the first few days with these guys and gals. It's now about 7 pm and we've had in total about 20 babies hatch today. We are very pleased with our success rate...too soon to tell what kinds we have. We're just hoping that most of them make it, which they should. Below are some pictures of our little guys and gals...Here are a few pictures we've taken so far. They are the size of a penny when they are born! We will continue to update their pictures as they grow older.

We are so excited! New babies were born today. We have had about a 95% hatch rate with this newest clutch. We always love to see what kinds we will have. All babies are very healthy and strong looking...hard to tell what they will be yet, but we will keep everyone posted.
