    One more question, the coturnix grow till they are 12 weeks right? So wouldn't it be better to keep them on high protein starter till at least then? Sorry, nother one I was checking my goldfish pellet food, and it says it has 36% protein. Since I can't get mealworms and stuff now, but I can...

    Quote: Check with spooky, she has a bobwhite and tuxedo or tibetan cross. I wont get into that again lol I wont believe it until theres genetic proof <---wanted to edit this to add that. Many breeders keep bobwhites and coturnix together and never get crosses. The birds separate and breed...

    Does it work for the normal or dark brown buttons as well? I have one that is pretty dark colored, not sure what the 'exact' coloring is, but I just noticed it is getting red on its breast and maybe its belly.

    He did a really good job of packing them, much better than I do, IMO. He must have been taking notes! I am still learning though, that's my excuse!
