I bought 50 Jombo coturnix hatching eggs from a seller on eBay (the guy from west Covina CA) 24 out 50 hatched, 10 died so now i have 12 and they are 9 weeks old and still not laying, such a waste of money I wouldn't buy from him again.
that makes me feel better I was considering orderingYou got a 50% hatch rate from shipped eggs!? Be Happy that is a great hatch! As to loosing the others...well there is a learning curve if you are new to quail and even if not I always still loose a few each hatch that just fail to thrive. So with shipped eggs you can expect to loose some just because they were shipped and maybe just didn't develop quite properly.
Im curious, will I get any color from my group? I have 5 jumbo brown coturnix (I believe) and 1 texas a and m coturnix
I would think you could expect some tuxedo.. I don't know enough about genetics to know what else could pop up besides the white and brown of course...
thats what I was thinking. All babies last time came out jumbo brown I color. I dont know what they look like now though. I may need to keep them till they are fully grown to find out.

I often get a white, or 2 and some tuxedo! In my first line, I see reds pop up, they were all mixed birds from that group.
