Quote: Ooohhh....snowflake..... Missi, I may find you sleeping in my barn one day

It sure would be neat if someone does. I know if I look up the colors I may end up with more birds on the farm in bobwhites I only have snowflake and butlers and one pair of northerns that is OK with me right now

One argument is that if Chinese Blue Breasted quail are Coturnix then what are their only living realities? Coturnix Adansonii ? NO, Excalfactoria Adansonii Coturnix migrate to Chinese Blue Breasted Quail? Coturnix hatch in 17-18 whereas Chinese Blue Breasted hatch in 15-16 days. Coturnix pass...

Correct, Henk. I just wanted to post the colors to help people identify. Typing at night tends to make mistakes so help is appreciated. Just let me know. We are all here to help each other after all

Henk69, what errors do you see so I can correct it?

Thanks TD, That sure helps me!

The Coturnix we all know is the Japanese quail, two names that are interchangeable

Pharaoh- the original color one would see in the wild, wild-type pattern, dominant MALE: FEMALE: Jumbo Brown/Pharaoh- Pharaohs selectively bred to be larger English White- homozygous for recessive white. Most have black or brown spotting (NOTE a gene or dominant white has been reported...
