Hello, ok now I know i have 2 males.
One is a Tuxedo and one is tibetan.

I have another tuxedo i think is a female and a white speckled one i forget the name.

Can I breed the Tibetan with the Tuxedo ? or should i stick with breeding the 2 Tuxedo's?

yes you can they are all the same breed of bird that's just a different color. Or are you asking what you'll get colorwise from crossing them?


Probably tibetans and tuxedos smile

Jumbo Brown

Italian speckled (same thing as golden)
Red
Red tibetan
Black (same thing as red tibetan)
Dark tibetan (same thing as red tibetan)

I was wondering if it made a difference, like would they come out looking like 50/50 or if they looked splash if it makes a difference to people that would buy the chicks.

theres no splash in coturnix yet but boy would that be pretty. theres pied but that's just an A & M with patches of color.

It depends on the birds individual genetics. Like the tuxedo is a tibetan thats carring the A & M (or english white) gene. So breeding it to a tibetan should give you tuxedos and tibetans.

You produce a tuxedo by breeding a tibetan (or a tuxedo) to a white coturnix (a & m or english white).

tuxedo to tuxedo should produce tuxedo but may also produce some tibetans.

tibetan to tibetan...tibetan smile

Can you breed anything else to a Gambel? We just lost our male to a coon and haven't been able to find another. We have Pharoh quail to with a lot of males. So thought we would try that??

Lucky to have: a wonderful husband and 2 beautiful sons, 3 horses, 21 fainting goats, 2 Maremma LGD's, 3 spoiled house dogs and 1 cat. Purebred pens of Blue Andalusian, True Ameraucana, Bantam Mottled and Lavender Cochins, Heritage RIR, Buff Orpington, Welsummer, Marans, BLR Wyandotte, Dark Brahma, Cream Legbars, Cayuga ducks and Black Spanish Turkeys. (and more in the incubator).

you can surely try it im not sure how big or small gamble hens are compaired to coturnix but you can cross bobwhite to coturnix (but you have to be careful of aggression and only 1 in 4 eggs are fertile from it i've been told) soo i'd asusme it may be simliar. smile
