Button Quail, also known as the Chinese Painted Quail, are the smallest members of the quail family. We have specialized ion them for many years. We have been the only importers of rare colors of button quail in the united states! I do well pairs of Button quail in small numbers. I do not have many birds at any given time to sell. My market is for hatching eggs, there are not many sales for adult birds probably because of shipping cost but I will sell pairs of birds. I do not have all of the colors listed on these pages for sale. So please inquire as to what you are interested in and I will quickly respond with an answer.
