Aka: how blue does a blue egg need to be before its Celadon?! 😅
I bought these off EBay, from a woman who keeps I believe it was around 100 birds, mostly Pearls (though it says she has some pharaoh, Italian, and pansy fee)… I didn’t pay Celadon prices, nor were blue eggs mentioned anywhere but...
Hello everyone! I have 3 male button quail, one of which I would really like to breed. I was considering purchasing a few Coturnix Celadon quail and trying to cross breed them. Does anyone know if this would be possible? I'm open to trying to cross breed him with other breeds as well. Please let...
Silver Homestead is blog I read and she (he?) is doing an experiment on breeding Speckled Blue eggs and says people are trying to breed robin looking eggs. Has anyone on here done their own egg color breeding?
Thanks to @FloorCandy I am getting 18 coturnix eggs 2 are potentially fertile albino and 1 is potentially fertile black and the rest celadon,I only say potentially cuz I was told it's a chance cuz the males young,my fiancee said I can have a coturnix since my personal button Lucifer keeps...
Hi!
I have this gray coturnix male, 4 weeks now, with brown cheek just as the feather sexable types. The father is white, and mother cinnamon tuxedo (not feather sexable). Do you think it is just a coincidence he looks like a feather sexable bird? It would be great to breed him to maintain this...
My buff (pastel/dilute, I was told) celadon (she has blue eggs) coturnix quail hen has gone broody, and I don't think it's genetics.
Let me give my theory of how this happened:
1. There were only 3 quails in the hutch (1 male and 2 females), and I had two quails pair bond.
How do I know they...
I went to a legit flea market last week and one of the sellers had parrots and quail eggs some of them being navy blue to royal purple. This confused me because I thought that celadon eggs were more of a light blue/teal type of deal. So I was wondering what is the darkest celadon egg you have...
Just a couple of quick questions, more out of curiosity than anything. I have noticed that my celadon babies are growing at a much slower rate than my non-Celadon quail did. They eat less, drink less, and are smaller. I'm wondering if this is going to make it hard to integrate them with my...
Hello -- I own three celadon coturnix quail (two males, one female) as pets. All of them are three and a half months old and are separated to prevent biting. The female began laying around mid-December. She lays one egg everyday aside from occasionally skipped days. However, she makes a cry-call...
I got my start with quail last spring. Ordered 12 hatching eggs, toddler broke 1, 6 hatched, 4 lived. A lot of tragic beginner mistakes. However the eggs I ordered had some blue eggs mixed in and I had one celadon hen. That hen wedged herself behind something, got stuck, and died. Another hard...
I am learning about raising quail for eggs, meat and fun. I have a small home in NE PA, with 2 dogs and a bunch of Holland Lop rabbits. I look forward to learning more about cortunix quail. I am no stranger to raising birds as house pets so raising quail will be a new adventure!
To start, I am very new to quail so apologies for any mistakes in advance! I have been raising chickens for years and just recently hatched my first quail. I am OBSESSED :love. I am very much confused on the proper identification of their colors though, and since I intend to breed these little...
What color egg and type bird will you hatch if you mix a coturnix and a celadon? I have coturnix quail now and thinking of adding celadon to our flock but wasn't sure what we would get if they mix breed.
