NUH UHH. I get maybe one Mostly white egg out of 1000, most are speckled, some are light brown and speckled.I think you might not have buttons/Chinese Blue Breasted quail. Courtenix lay white eggs. buttons are usually brown speckled, sometimes a bit blue or pale but can be white if laid too soon so the pigment is not added in the laying process. Do you have photos of the birds and eggs? that would help.
duh you sir (or madame) are correct...I must have had on my blinders that day...I know a friend who has bobwhites I think or anyway another type of quail that lays white shelled eggs. I just know that buttons do the darker brown with speckles and sometimes pale blue or other hues. I just wonder if this is a button or if it is a nutrition problem.NUH UHH.
