Button Quails

Button Quails for Sale

At Pure Greenland Farm, I raise Button Quails, commonly known as Chinese Painted Quails or King Quails, for customers interested in breeding, ornamental bird collections, aviaries, eggs and small-scale quail keeping. Button Quails are among the smallest commonly kept quails and are valued primarily for their compact size, attractive coloration and active natural behavior.

I raise my Button Quails with attention to clean housing, suitable nutrition, fresh drinking water and protection from predators. Whether you are looking for Button Quail chicks, adult Button Quails, breeding pairs, males, females or hatching eggs, I can help you choose birds according to your intended purpose and current availability.

Button Quail Chicks

Button Quail chicks are extremely small and require careful brooding.

Young chicks need appropriate warmth, clean bedding, suitable starter nutrition and safe access to drinking water. Because of their small size, waterers must be designed carefully to reduce the risk of drowning.

When I raise Button Quail chicks, I pay close attention to temperature, feeding, hydration and cleanliness during the early stages.

If you are searching for Button Quail chicks for sale, I can provide young birds when available.

Adult Button Quails

Adult Button Quails are compact, active birds that can be maintained in properly designed aviaries and breeding enclosures.

They come in a variety of colors and patterns depending on the line, making them popular among ornamental bird keepers.

I manage mature males and females according to the needs of my breeding flock and the intended purpose of the birds.

Button Quail Breeding Pairs

Button Quails can be kept as breeding pairs or managed breeding groups.

When selecting breeding birds, I consider overall condition, maturity, activity and suitability for the breeding program. Proper nutrition, appropriate housing and good sanitation are important for successful breeding.

Customers searching for a Button Quail breeding pair should have their enclosure prepared before bringing mature birds home.

Button Quail Eggs

Female Button Quails can produce small eggs that may be used for reproduction in managed breeding programs.

If you are purchasing Button Quail hatching eggs, fertility, proper collection, handling, storage and incubation conditions all affect hatch results.

I recommend using a reliable incubator and following appropriate incubation instructions for Button Quail eggs. Hatching eggs cannot be guaranteed because fertility and hatchability vary.

Button Quail Hatching Eggs

Customers who want to hatch their own Button Quails can use fertile hatching eggs when available.

Because Button Quail eggs are small, careful handling is important. The incubator should be clean and properly prepared before incubation begins.

Once chicks hatch, a secure brooder should already be prepared with suitable heat, bedding, food and safe drinking water.

Button Quails for Breeding

Button Quails can make interesting breeding birds for small aviaries and ornamental bird collections.

I recommend maintaining breeding birds in clean, secure enclosures with adequate space, suitable nesting areas and appropriate nutrition.

Breeding performance can vary depending on genetics, age, season, nutrition, environmental conditions and individual birds.

Feeding Button Quails

Button Quails require appropriate nutrition throughout their lives.

Young birds need suitable starter feed, while mature birds require an appropriate maintenance or breeding ration.

I keep feed fresh, dry and protected from rodents and contamination. Clean drinking water should always be available.

Small birds require appropriately sized feeders and waterers so they can eat and drink safely.

Button Quail Housing

Button Quails are small, but they still need properly designed housing.

I recommend secure, clean and well-ventilated aviaries or enclosures that protect the birds from predators, drafts and excessive weather conditions.

Because Button Quails are small and active, enclosure gaps should be carefully checked to prevent escapes.

Do Button Quails Need a Pond?

No. Button Quails do not require a swimming pond.

They need clean drinking water but are not waterfowl. A shallow and appropriately designed drinking system is preferable to providing swimming water.

Button Quails for Aviaries

Button Quails are commonly kept in aviary environments because of their small size and active behavior.

They can be maintained alongside suitable aviary environments when compatibility, space and species requirements are carefully considered.

I recommend providing secure flooring, hiding areas, clean bedding and suitable shelter within the enclosure.

Button Quails for Backyard Keeping

Button Quails can be kept in suitable backyard enclosures where local rules permit them.

Their small size makes them interesting to people with limited space, but their small size should not be mistaken for a lack of care requirements.

A secure enclosure, proper feed, fresh water and protection from cats, dogs and wild predators are essential.

Button Quails for Ornamental Collections

One of the main attractions of Button Quails is their appearance.

They are available in numerous color varieties and can add activity and visual interest to a suitable aviary or ornamental bird collection.

I raise them for customers who appreciate small quails and want birds for breeding or ornamental purposes.

Button Quail Colors and Varieties

Button Quails can occur in several color and pattern varieties.

Depending on the breeding line, customers may encounter birds with blue-gray, brown, chestnut, silver, white and other plumage characteristics.

Color availability can vary, so I recommend contacting Pure Greenland Farm to confirm which varieties are currently available.

Male and Female Button Quails

Male and female Button Quails can show differences in coloration depending on the variety.

Males commonly have stronger facial and throat markings, while females may have more subdued coloration.

For breeding purposes, I recommend selecting healthy mature males and females that are appropriate for your breeding objectives.

Button Quail Eggs for Eating

Button Quail eggs are edible, but their extremely small size means they are generally less practical as a primary egg-production bird than larger quail varieties such as Coturnix.

I primarily recommend Button Quails for breeding, ornamental collections and small aviary keeping rather than intensive commercial egg production.

Button Quails for Meat

Button Quails are very small compared with meat-oriented Coturnix quails.

For customers whose primary objective is meat production, a larger production quail is generally more appropriate. Button Quails are better suited to ornamental, breeding and aviary purposes.

Button Quail vs. Coturnix Quail

Button Quails and Coturnix quails are very different in size and purpose.

Button Quails are very small ornamental/aviary quails, while Coturnix quails are considerably larger and widely used for eggs and meat.

If you want a compact aviary bird, Button Quail may fit your purpose. If you want intensive egg or meat production, Coturnix is a different type of quail to consider.

Button Quail vs. Bobwhite

Button Quails are also very different from Bobwhites.

Bobwhites such as Northern Bobwhite are larger New World game birds, while Button Quails are small Old World quails commonly kept in aviary settings.

Their size, appearance, behavior and management requirements are different.

Button Quail Breeding and Incubation

When I breed Button Quails, I pay attention to the condition of breeding birds, nesting environment, egg collection and incubation.

Artificial incubation can be used when fertile eggs are available. Proper temperature, humidity, ventilation and handling are important throughout incubation.

After hatching, chicks require immediate access to appropriate brooding conditions.

Why I Raise Button Quails

I raise Button Quails because they are small, attractive and interesting birds for customers who want something different from standard production quails.

Their compact size makes them particularly suitable for appropriately designed aviaries and small breeding collections. I enjoy maintaining them as part of my farm’s diverse poultry and bird offerings.
