Great season for King Quails

My King Quail hen has just hatched her third clutch for the season. 

The clutches have been as follows 

Seven or eight eggs are incubated 

- First clutch four were hatched and two grew to adulthood. 

- Second clutch four were hatched and three grew to adulthood. 

- Third clutch one was hatched. 

Their has been a silver mutation in both of the first clutches and I have two adult males out of the five mature chicks.

The female has made her nest in three separate places for each of the clutches using seed husks and dried grass to construct the nests.

The group dynamic of the flock is quite interesting overall when chicks are born and I really enjoy watching them in general.
