    Where to Buy

    Why do you breed hybrids every other year? Its hard enough to find good amherst as it is. Try Jeff Berger, Kelly Mcmullan, maybe James Pfarr, Tony, Thomas Edmonds, or any of people they may know. Look for impurities in stock as well. color leaks, not perfect bars on amherst tail, crest not even...

    Is there correlation between larger egg size and final bird weight

    This needs to be understood strongly as "assuming the genetics are there to begin with". I know what your birds are DC so this is accurate...in your case.

    Shinto Dragon Jumbo Coturnix Project

    So I have not read through this entire forum, but I intend to when I am out of school today. I love the scientific approach and feel that more breeders need a scientific state of mind even beyond genetics. I have a suggestion (not sure if it has been mentioned yet as i havent read it all) I...

    So i have a problem and need help!

    I agree, split the run. Give the chickens the coop attached to the run and give the pheasants smaller shelters within each individual run. They will fend the weather much better than the chickens will.

    Quail aviary planting

    I have used dogwood, elderberry, boxwood, cedar, and many grasses all with great success AS LONG AS THE PEN IS NOT CROWDED. A crowded pen will never support plant life. I also know of other breeders using lilacs and bamboo with great success

    Gambel's quail or not?

    Gambels quail can be found in northern Utah as well as Valley Quail. The biggest indicators between the two will be that the gambels has a brownish red cap behind its topknot. Gambels also have a clear buff breast while valleys have grayish scales on the breast. I have had both and the hybrid...
