    Name That Color

    Imported from another breeder, yes. Coturnix aren't even a wild bird, they are domestically bred. Also importing birds costs a good amount of money, a whole lot of paperwork, and a 30 day quarantine period at a quarantine station is required. The reason I ask is because I know a breeder who...

    Crowned Cranes/Demoiselle cranes

    Hello! I personally have not kept crowned/demoiselle cranes, but I work for a breeder who does.

    Help me sex them?

    Male or Female Button Quail Chicks?

    Hello! A front view of the first one may be helpful, it looks like a blue-faced mutation. The male blue faces have a bluish color on their breast, and the females have no hint of blue, they are just brownish. The second looks like a golden pearl mutation, at this point it definately looks like a...

    Coturnix quail mutations

    Hi everyone, I recently got a new coturnix quail hen for my breeding flock. The breeder said she is a cinnamon, but I'm not really sure what the official mutation is (if there is one). She is the light colored bird in the picture below. Any help would be appreciated!
