    Cotournix Quail Threw Up?

    It probably just expelled the contents of its crop, a pouch in the esophagus where food is stored before being swallowed, because it was picked up.

    Where to order coturnix quail in NY

    I second the Myshire suggestion. Zach has a website, ebay account, and youtube channel with weekly livestreams where he answers anyone's questions. He is also more than happy to discuss quail and answer questions via text or phone call. He has a wide selection but this is his busy season so...

    Japanese Coturnix Sex-Linked Roux Charcoal "Sandy" Project

    I know that this is an older thread, but what do you mean by charcoal? I'm assuming it's grau-fee which I was under the impression is two different genes at two different loci, fee + extended black (Tibetan). But you are describing it as the charcoal gene, implying that you are talking about a...

    I kind of have a problem

    I second this. I use a water bottle and a blue reusable ice pack in my incubator. I also have two digital thermometers, a glass thermometer, and a meat thermometer that I calibrated with ice water. One of the digital thermometers is consistently 2 degrees lower than the rest but the others...

    Baby quail

    By distance I'm assuming you mean you have it in it's own brooder alone? Its calling because it is alone and trying to alert the others that it is lost. Give it a feather duster or a stuffed animal to cuddle against, make sure that it is warm enough and has food and water.

    Pearl X Jumbo Brown

    Im not an expert, but from what I understand: Pearl is falb-fee and italian. Falb-fee (aka ghost) is a dominant gene. Italian (aka gold) is an incomplete dominant (het is italian, homozygous is manchurian). Going with that, you should expect Pharoah - inherited neither dominant gene falb-fee...

    Any quail egg sellers near me? (Bucks County Pa)

    Have you checked craigslist or asked employees at the local feed stores if they know of anyone with quail in the area? Tractor supply might not give any leads, but a mom and pop type store probably could put you in contact with someone local if you leave them your phone number. If you dont find...

    What color coturnix quail has...

    The first one looks like it has the extended black gene? I agree that the second is a panda or spotted white with the color being italian. The third is a tuxedo, my guess would be a scarlet. I'm still very new to this, but this link has helped me...

    German pastel? Here are my two germans. The orange color over the silver color comes across as more silver in pictures

    Color Variety Questions

    Have you watched myshire farm's youtube videos? Their breeding and genetics Q&A videos also cover colors and their genetics. In fact, most of their Q&A videos have genetic and color questions as well.

    Anyone else with this egg coloration?

    Check out their newest youtube video. I asked him about these eggs last night in the livestream. It is a project that he is working on.

    Anyone else with this egg coloration?

    Technically you already have celadon, as that is just a blue egg trait. You could breed for less spots on the eggs like everyone else. I'm hoping to get more eggs like yours when mine are old enough. Also, myshire is working with celadons but hasn't released them yet because he cant get them...

    Anyone else with this egg coloration?

    I love those eggs, I've been hoping that other people would have them and start sharing anecdotes about how true they breed. Do you happen to know the line of your quail? I ordered Alchemist line celadon quail eggs from Rising Phoenix Farm in South Carolina because I wanted celadons that breed...
