Call Duck Incubation Help
I have 6 call eggs in the incubator, they were started on 2/8/25 , so we’re at 19 days of incubation. My concern is that the air cells look too small for how far along they are. I’ve never had an issue with air cell development, so looking for some advice on how to fix this. I’ve been keeping...- Chris102

Call Duck Color ID
Recently picked up a pair of Call Ducks from an auction and need help identifying the color of the Drake. The hen looks like a Blue Bibbed, but please correct me if I’m wrong! I’m new to duck mutations. They were labeled Silver/Blue pair but when I look at pics of silver drakes they don’t look... -
What sort of quail are these?
I know I'm digging up a SUPER OLD thread, but unanswered questions drive me insane lol! The Quail In the 1st pic from the OP are a European mutation called "pansy". It's VERY similar to the red breasted mutation in Button Quail (cpq). To my knowledge, Not related to the Italian Mutation. I can... -
Stone Partridge Anyone?
Thanks for the responses! My pair is very compatible and I'm absolutely loving this species...I'm already considering another pair lol! There's just no other bird like them. The females are definitely the dominant of the sexes and more colorful than the males. Here's a few pictures of the birds...- Chris102

Blue (Celadon) Eggs!
Thanks! I was pretty excited when I saw them. The chicks should be normals or Dilute, but I plan to introduce the gene responsible for blue eggs in my Silver line. -
Stone Partridge Anyone?
I'm getting a pair of African Stone Partridge next week and was wondering if anyone else has them and/or info about keeping them in captivity. They've been on my "gotta have it" list ever since they were first imported. They're only about the size of a Valley Quail, and rather plain in...- Chris102

Mearns Quail Hatching
Sorry your hatch didnt turn out more chicks. I know the feeling. I had 1 survivor from a batch of 16 Black Masked bobwhite eggs. Hatching is definitely a gamble! A good majority of the Mearns breeders I've talked to keep the humidity just above 25%. I hear that 25-35% is ideal... but I can't... -
Tennessee red and mahogany bobwhite...
They're Tennessee Reds that have been VERY selectively bred by a guy for many years. To say they're the same is almost undermining (not intentionally) to the work put forth and beauty of these birds. Genotype is the same, but phenotype is not. Not many people can do what this guy has done with a... -
New Additions (Mearns)!!!
To those of you who raise Mearns, how many eggs do you usually get from a single hen each season? -
New Additions (Mearns)!!!
Just got a pair of Mearns! My birthday was Monday and I couldn't ask for a better gift to myself haha. They settled in very quickly and are incredibly calm. They slowly walk over to their hide box when I hover over the pen, but don't go nuts like some other species of wild quail. I'm absolutely... -
Supplements and Nutrients?
I add Spirulina and Bee Pollen. I've seen a HUGE difference in my birds since using the Spirulina! Brighter feathers, higher fertility, lower chick mortality, faster molts...the list goes on! The bee pollen is a newer addition, so I can't yet say much about its effectiveness, the birds love it... -
Japanese Coturnix Quail Color Varieties!!!!
Hmm an Interesting name for the mutation... not sure if that's what I'd call it either. Please post pictures of your red eyed/leucistic Quail, I'd love to see them!
