    Coturnix color genetics experts - Pearl genetics?

    Yes thank you for the answer here as well, @Fenrisulfr. I had some overlap between the questions in my two posts (and a little bit of eagerness to find an answer as I need to thin out my male population asap!). Super helpful, I think I'm going to keep the pearl male to create some color...

    got it. Yes, the pearl gentleman seems to be waiting for the right moment. And there are others who have not been patient at all...

    First time coturnix breeding Qs

    Thank you all for the quick and helpful replies. I like the idea of letting the hens decide. I haven't noticed much mounting activity from him or any aggression. What should I look for in my hens behavior if I'm letting them decide? And what do you think are no-no's for the males? I've just...

    Does anyone know what kind of variations I might expect from a pearl male crossed with a jumbo brown female? My birds are from southwest gamebirds, one of JMF's partner farms, if that matters. Thank you for any guidance!

    JMF said "QUAIL FACT THREAD"

    I spoke to Robby this morning (1/16/20) and he said that he will be selling a bit differently now. As far as color birds, the only way to get them is in an assortment box of 100 eggs for $100. JMF pharaohs will be 50 eggs for $40, $100 for xx, etc. (Sorry I don't have my notes with me for all...

    Australorps and speckled sussex available in NYC area?

    hi. I'm in Brooklyn and looking for a source for sexed Australorp and speckled sussex day old chicks. Didn't find anything in the BYC breeder directory and the two local sources I've found are pretty much just large operations that buy and get shipments from unknown sources around the area...
