    Button Quail Hen Color Morph ID Please!

    This sassy little cutie has joined our flock! I think she has fawn coloring, but does anyone have any more insight or corrections? I am currently planning on pairing her with a silver redbreast male. Any other suggestions for pairing?

    Hybridising Chinese Painted Quail and Japanese Quail

    For a while now I have had two Chinese painted (CP) quail (assumed a pair) living with my Japanese Coturnix (JC) hens. Surprisingly, the CP roo has not once mated with his CP hen. Instead, he took a fancy to my JC hens. At first it was a futile attempt, he would climb on their necks and sit...

    New Additions - Chinese Painted Quail

    Hi all, I unintentionally stumbled across a local advertisement for someone selling two Chinese painted quail, and since quail are almost impossible to find here, I foolishly purchased them with intent on them joining the farm.
