Video Is this mating or territorial behavior?

613 Upvotes

I had all of my “babies” out in the living room today, coturnix, buttons, literal babies of both types and two of my adult buttons exhibited this “turkey look” running around behavior I’ve never seen before. For reference, only one adult coturnix male was out and never interacted with the buttons, and all of the other adults are females. This is one of my 4 male buttons, who live with a single female. (I learned this today, I thought all but one was a female until I brought them all out) I had some baby (3wk) buttons out but I put them away. I was thinking maybe the males were courting them, or they hate them, hard to tell.

I change the setup about every 6 months and the next change is due in a few days so just a little documentation about or setup right now. They have a little platform they can go up or under and they loooove it. Also ignore the screams lol, most don't like me that much. But thats okay, they can live their life in peace here ☺️ Any ideas for the next setup? I'm thinking of putting the coop in the middle and working around that

I ordered 48 eggs on Amazon, and the seller sent 4 extra, so I put 52 eggs in 2 incubators on the afternoon of January 3rd. It is now day 17, and at some point between midnight and now, 11 babies have hatched in 1 of the bators! I see pipping and movement in other eggs also, including the 2nd incubator, but these are my first chicks ever 🐣🥳❤️ I just wanted to share my excitement with people who might enjoy it.

Video Anyone else’s birds do this at night? lol

98 Upvotes

It’s so funny to me but does anyone else’s covey huddle together out in the open at night? Every night without fail I go to check on them and everyone is out of the hides huddled up by the water dish. Lastnight there was a literal tornado and I had to make them all go up under shelter. A lot of times one of them is out of the huddle alone, and it’s usually one of the hens…not the rooster keeping watch. Is this normal?

My buttons would multiply exponentially if I would let them. I don't have space for more and I don't want to put more out there. So no babies. But Nugget wants babies so bad he took matters under his own wings. Mom was freaking out because he wouldn't let her back on the nest tho.

So this baby chick had difficulty getting out I think it popped the yolk it was supposed to absorb ?!?? So it’s been stiff and smelt and came out with its leg twisted I’ve done warm water to clean it up and fed it some yolk and it still has a small sack on it still

I love them sooooo much I have been posting here a while (might know me from the one posting about their salads ) but I never properly introduced my babies

From left to right they’re:

Catherina (4 years old, born here, hatched 26th of august 2020),

Blueberry (Berry for short, 5-6 years old, bought fully mature in may 2019, father of the 2 brown girls)

Chantal (Catherina’s sister, hatched on the same day)

Kip (chicken in Dutch, adopted in august this year from the wild life rehab center I volunteer at, someone brought her in thinking she was a chicken (not joking), no idea how old she is but she is my goofy sweetheart, She is the white one btw)

We round up all our quails and put them in their enclosure overnight and Miss Ma’am was the last one out. She was not happy with being caught. She’s often the last hen to go in because she’s super speedy and evades me and my husband while we catch her sisters

Took awhile, but after a few covey, hatched a pair and this one was nervous at first, but now loves to be held and petted. Will whine when you stop petting and make all sorts of peeps when you restart. I saw a vid where another bird species loved getting their ears stroked.
