I do love the look of the silvers. Thanks so much for sharing all the pics.

Oh she is cute. I dont know what kind but you could try and see if you can match on the JamesMarieFarms site. They show many varieties there. I just tried but the site it down or Id share the link. How nice that she is broody!

Depends on the age. Spots can fade but a spotted chest in a say 5 week old cotrunix such as this would indicate female.

Oh my, interesting but yes Blue Scale quail are very different from Coturnix.

I will do that. Thank you for the info. I guess I stick with trying to get some blue quail eggs with a higher probability of expressing the blue color.

Are they very different from Coturnix blues?

Thanks Gary. I also found some at Stromberg's website. Are you familiar with them? https://www.strombergschickens.com/poultry_currently_available# "Blue Scale Eggs - AVAILABLE for order now with a 2016 delivery date.- Start shipping in June" But I dont know if Blue Scale are the same...

Thanks Gary, that does help. Im assuming the person who sold me the eggs from his low percentage blue producers. I probably have two females. I will notice. Im looking for eggs with a higher percentage probability of producing blue offspring. Do you know where I might purchase them?

Does anyone know what types of coturnix produce the silver/blue/grey color that seems to be so rare?

Get some more females and perhaps a male, thought like chickens, it is not necessary for the quail to have a male to be happy. Females together would be just fine. I would miss the clicky crow is I didnt have males though. If you get a small male they have kind of a squeaker sound to their...

I had a coturnix quail pair when I first started with quail. I was hoping to have them populate my hopefully growing flock. I cants say that the male directly killed the female but I will say the female was stressed by over mating. I had to keep them separate during the day and when I put them...

You were correct. It face did turn white. Taken today, 5 weeks old:

This is all so interesting. Im really enjoying looking at the pics and learning about the genetic mixing of quail. Ive had chickens for years but Im fairly new to owning quail and definitely new to breeding them and playing a bit with mixing their color types by breeding.

Found this thread so I thought Id throw my mystery hatch into the mix: These pics are all of the same one. It is about 3 weeks old in these pics. The face is yellow but the chest has a bit of white feathering. The brown is mostly without bars and has a hint of gray coloring. Down the...
