Sorry to add to this post but can anyone identify this quail, it hatched among a load of coturnix but is the only one like it, just wondered if there was a name for it or if its just a colour/pattern variation
Havnt tried wiping it over yet but its already looking more fluffed up so may just see how it is in the morning, its no effecting him in any way i just think it looks odd, also goin to try find somewhere to get a couple of day old KC or runners to be his friends
Yeah might be an idea, dont think itd please him straight out the fridge, Will give it a bash,, dont think il go mad though, dont wanna stress the little fella
Wow u hav loads, love the look of lavender orpingtons, funny you mention if im getting anymore, i ordered another 6 yesterday, is strange how theyre kind of addictive
One of them give up early on and the other one quit while internally pipped, was gutted, i have put some small fluffy toys and a mirror in the brooder for now, is all i could think of, seems happy enough at the moment, just hope it doesnt effect him growing up.
Yep i beleive it is Khaki campbell, its from 3 mixed eggs i bought as i didnt want to go mad with it being my 1st time, they were from a mixed flock of runners, swedish blue, aylesbury and KC, i know it may seem stupid only doing 3 eggs but felt it was best to start small.
