Do California quail share this trait like coturnix quail?

[Gigachad poultry]

So I'm kinda curious, when coturnix roos are pressed around the vet they make this foam that is kinda like their "baby badder". I'm wondering if California quail do the same thing and if so can I use it to fertilize my coturnix hens. I'm pretty sure that any chicks that would result would be like mules and unable to breed. Can someone help answery questions?

I have no idea if CA quail produce foam. I know that buttons don't. Even if they do, you are not likely to get crossbreeds because CA quail and Coturnix quail are completely different species.

Google crossbreeding quail. I seem to recall someone did an experiment with coturnix and (I think) California quail. The two naturally paired up and the owner decided to incubate. Most died in development but a few managed to hatch. None lasted very long though.

I wouldn’t dream of trying it myself but it was an interesting read.

I don't think they produce foam, and even then a California quail is a New world quail species and Coturnix is an Old world quail species. Crossbreeding the 2 would just result in infertile eggs or if some do hatch they most likely wouldn't live past a week old.

Cool, where did you read it?

it was on this forum a while back. I stumbled across it a few months back when I was looking into being intentional with how my coturnix breed.
