These are all to sell. I only like to keep 10 or so chicks at a time, my current snowies are ALOT to have at once, and I gave away 12 lol. I still have 22 tho. Hopefully all the new chicks will sell, and put me on track to making the big bator worth the money. I’m going to build a new pen for...

I have eggs hatching this weekend, then I think the following Wednesday or so I have my big incubator hatching. The fertility has fallen a bit, I had 7 clears out of 43, and 2 blood rings. I think it’s a combo of the birds had been molting, constant rain and eggs layed in mud, plus the season...

I don’t have any pics of open eggs, but here is a cream inside and blue inside when you candle.

Some people claim that eggs that are blue inside indicate the hen has 1 copy of the celadon gene. I haven’t seen any official science saying this tho. But if all of your eggs are blue inside, and you’ve raised multiple generations and not gotten unexpected celadon eggs from them , it probably...

With my last hatch, I ordered shipped eggs, and 1/3 were blue inside, but these were not a celadon order. I didn’t separate the eggs that were blue inside because I had too many to deal with all that, so I don’t know who hatched from what, but when I cross these silvers to my celadons, if any...

I recently read a study on quail when I was looking up supplements and stuff. It had identified different egg characteristics and the egg shell color is a different gene than the “paint” gene. It didn’t give any details on why most celadon layers produce lightly speckled eggs. But there are...

If you are near central/ north nj, I breed celadon roux, both Egyptian and scarlet. I have an adult Rosetta boy from a sex link hatch who is on borrowed time lol. Someone was supposed to buy him yesterday, and I got the run around all day and he’s still here haha. I have a scarlet boy who needs...

It’s so funny, people all want celadon flocks, I have more requests for chicks than I can provide, but no one wants to buy my adult celadon males lol. I literally made soup out of male celadon quails last week.

My current flock are homogenous as far as I’ve been able to determine. my 3 Roos have produced over 40 adult hens with no normal eggs, all blue, which I felt was adequate testing for my hobby operation haha. so since I have a homogenous flock I thought I would branch out to colors.

From what I understand, silver to silver will always produce some white chicks. My chicks are white with more a rich purple eye color, like red haze over black, so I think they are incomplete albinos, which is probably what the double silver gene produces but I’m uncertain. It is probably like...

A couple pics to tide you over, the albinos, and a lavender pearl.

I was going to post an update tomorrow, Pebble and the albinos are doing great. Pebble and the smallest albino are feathering in nicely. I put the normal one who had the twisted foot, (but I had taped and immobilized it and he can walk with a minor limp now) into the main brooder, he’s as...

I had purchased these with the intention to cross to my celadons which are not silver. Since silver is dominant, you can cross to non silver and get a mixed result.

ive been looking for someone who keeps reptiles to take the poorly chicks here and there, plus I’ll be making sex links again. Once covid passes I’ll probably contact some stores and rescues to see if they want free feeders. I don’t currently know anyone who has any, but my daughter has been...

double post

I did speak with him through email, and he gave me a refund of my purchase. So far 2 of the albinos are healthy, 1 is not even blind yet, and the other is healthy, other than the bulging eye. I may keep them as house quail, their blind antics are pretty funny. I’ve considered making a thread...

Your solid white probably has the silver gene. If you keep breeding it to the wild one, you will probably eventually get a female.

Update: it turns out 3 of the chicks are albino so the blindness is caused by that, which is probably inbreeding, not the fault of the silver gene, but silver is still iffy I think.

I believe the variation stems from silver being incomplete dominant, so some of the other genes bleed thru and affect the overall look. As far as homozygous silver, I ordered snowies from Myshire, and only 14 of 39 chicks were snowy. Of the snowies, 1/3 are blind, and it’s the most white ones...
