12-hour old button quail babies!

Three of 10 eggs hatched successfully. A fourth started hatching, but died halfway out (that was sad..). None look like they're tuxedos, just all white buttons (I ordered both, sad to see only one type made it). There's pebbles in the water in the metal bowl behind, as well as some game bird feed. I put a tiny bit of water in that bottle top and they seem more attracted to that than the bowl in the back with water. There are also some tiny baby mealworms in there they were pecking at ferociously earlier.

I really just wanted to show the size of the newborn quail babies, which is why my hand is in there with them. Sorry! And I have small, fat hands, LOL. OH and I left my kid's voice in there (FARTED) yeah. that's my 4 year old kid.
