quail breeding

Sorry for the awful photos, I’m nervous to get them out again! I’m so excited to have them, waiting for them to calm down to sex. If anyone notices like, a blatant feather sexable roo please tell me! I’d also love to know what varieties they are! I love my beautiful rainbow quail mix!!!!

I am not new to quail...I had them once years ago before I knew of all the awesome and even rare colors. We had the trusty old jumbo wilds. Now that my family is getting back in to quail keeping, I'd like to gain a better understanding of breeding for specific color patterns (while also...

Hoping someone here can help me with a couple breeding/color combo questions. I want to hatch out for more females since my last hatch was only 4/12 females. I currently have 2 bachelor pads of reserve males and 4 females with 1 male. Current setup of the breeding cage: 1 italian female 1...

Doing a hatch of my birds I was just wondering if anyone knew what colors I could get from these. The white one is the boy the others are the girls.

To make it clear, I will not be doing this anytime soon as I only this year got into poultry keeping and have yet to breed my own birds. But in the further future I am hoping to breed chickens and coturnix quail. But my problem is there are very few good breeders of coturnix quail online and I...

Hello, this is my first post! I'm wondering what quail breed to start in my incubator. I love the way Gambel or California Valley look plus I love in NorCal and hunt California Valley every year so I’m familiar with cooking and butchering. But it’s expensive. Really any quail looks good but if...

Hey everyone! Am new to this forum and made an account in the hopes that someone might be able to help with these issues we've been having with our Japanese quail babies. We're still pretty new to quailing in general and hatched the first chick on Nov 10. The first 2 chicks we got died...

I have had some great feedback to help with organizing the threads so going forward I will be posting each tip in this thread under the replies. Thanks to all that have kindly helped. Soooo. Tip of the day!!!!! Coturnix quail can lay for up to 2 years however after the first year production is...

A jumbo quail is not just a quail that reaches 10 oz at 10 weeks of age but they also must breed true meaning at least 99% true when hatch. So for example. We have some of our SSC the schofield silver collection reach weights of way above 10oz but because they do not breed true then we will...

Hello, Myshire Farm will try and has the goal of posting a tip or a piece of information about coturnix daily on here! Tip for the day...... The weather is changing which means you have to also. If you take care of your quail the same during the summer as you do the winter then you will lose...

Our female king / button quail laid six eggs and seems to be trying to hatch them. She makes this call every once in a while. Any ideas on what it means?

I have two males I want to use for breeding and I have to choose between them. They both are very light golden italian quail, gorgeous birds, except for one glaring difference. One bird has completely light brown markings on the head, and the other bird has black. Does anyone know which...

Aye, I've been looking to raise some Quail. However, having dealt with other animals before I know that many of the animals for sale are often far younger than they are supposed to be. Many times market as "minis" and such. What age should I look for when buying Quail?

After a worrisome few months my rosters started to crow. Changes since my last post. • I ditched solar lights after trying so many different types. • i instead use an led shop light i got at goodwill and ran a long extension cable hooked up to a timer (4am-8am) • i now added some layer...

Hi, Iv been raising backyard, small farm flocks ever since I was a little kid. Iv raised flocks of Turkeys & chickens. Right now I have chicken, ducks, and peacocks. My chickens have mainly reproduced on their own and kept my flock at an acceptable number for my family. I recently bought a...

beginning to think im not cut out for this. I have a pair of normal king quails, and pair of tuxedo king quails, and then a pair of Japanese quails in my aviary (along with my zebra finch and diamond doves). They all get a long surprisingly, in cold nights they all sit together to keep warm, the...

I'm still incubating my first quail (103 eggs, hoping for at least 50% hatch rate), but I know that culling is only 2 months away. I intend to breed my quail. I'm not sure what to look for in good breeding stock though, especially cocks. I'll keep every healthy hen for now because I'll...

I hatched four texas A&M quail from a breeder. My question is, why are three displaying spots and are not all white? Its confusing because they're mostly white and you would think they would be all white if they were displaying a recessive gene? I have one male who is pure pure white, thats it...

I hatched only two of these from a breeder. Are they rare or common? Google is giving me nothing.

Greetings Everyone, This is my first post so I thought I would share one of our best discoveries. We went from 12 quail to 800 birds in less than a year and my wife was complaining, (with good reason) about the smell from the coop. We lived in a residential area and she was worried about the...
