➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[ShrekDawg]

Nooooo, I eat like crap. I blame my under-performing alpine veggies!

It's not that I'm a sugar addict. Definitely definitely not.

i haven’t even eaten most of the veggies I’ve grown this year. And there have been a lot... most of them have ended up being thrown out or given to the chickens because they’ve gone bad

Yes ma'am like muddy said no biggie. I always seperated them at about a wk for fear the bigger would bully the smaller and my quail might not grow as fast.

Thank you and thank you @muddy75 too. I have also had chicken and quail in the same brooder with no issues and the quail going under the chicken to hide...so cute. But I have hatched them in different hatchers, i.e. chickens hatch in a separate hatcher than quail and then I just put them all together in the brooder. My concern was if I hatch them in the same hatcher/incubator, won't the chicken smash the not-yet-hatched quail eggs or just hatched quailies?

Pics?
These are the sex linkers right?

I think I might have a pansy confirmation would be awesome I’m also going put a second brooder in here and separate some of them so when they start getting bigger they aren’t crowded in this one

There are some sex links in the bin yes

Panda was clarified to me last year. Read the description in the picture attached. In short I was told by the geneticist I am working with for the Coturnix Association if a bird doesn't display markings under the eye (cheek area) it is not a Panda and is instead heterozygous "dotted white" "Tuxedo". I was told if it looks like a Texas A&M it's the homozygotes form of "dotted white". Dana Manchester described this to me also over 10 years ago. He actuality wrote about it in his article "Coturnix Rising" I'll post the section that he talked about Tuxedo also. GREAT READ !
Hopefully the pics I have will upload showing the markings needed at cheek area to confirm Panda mutation.


Excerpt from Dana's article - COTURNIX RISING
((( Because these mutations can be 'combined' so to say- each specific mutation is called something but each particular variety that is causes is also known as something else. I will give an example of the most commonly used misname; tuxedo. The 'dotted white gene' will cause a bird to express half of its body in white phase while the other half is colored normally. A white patch will extend from the wings into the breast and up to the throat. So the mutation that causes this variation is known as 'dotted white' and forms the tuxedo pattern. However, a bird with this mutation is not simply known as 'Tuxedo' as most breeders would refer to them as. Because of our extensive variation, we can produce many color phases with the addition of a tuxedo white pattern. A wild-colored bird with a white breast would be considered a Pharaoh Tuxedo variety, whereas a variety of dark colored bird with a white breast is known as a Tibetan Tuxedo. The one 'dotted white' mutation actually has the ability of combining with all other pattern variations to from dozens of varieties, each distinctly different from one another and each having its own name. On the same topic, the dark black/mahogany colored variety is known as the Tibetan. Many breeders that keep this bird in a tuxedo form refer to it as a Black Tuxedo. This is incorrect, however. The addition of the 'dotted white gene' to a pre-existing variety does not warrant a new name, its is simply a different variety of the pre-existing and is thus called a Tibetan Tuxedo. To call this a Black Tuxedo is incorrect, a 'recessive black mutation' does exist and is very similar to the Tibetan in appearance. A Black Tuxedo variety could exist but this is very different from the Tibetan Tuxedo that is commonly produced and mislabeled as a Black Tuxedo. To summarize, multiple genetic variations can be combined to form a multitude of plumage varieties. Each distinct variety needs to be understood and called the proper name to ensure that other breeders do not breed the wrong birds under the wrong name, causing further confusion as new varieties come along.

Ok --- Sorry - another long post - sometimes needed to get across correct information to help prevent confusion with call names going around.

thank you for the clarification!!

One more pip, no zips, but... chick! The first one to hatch came out of the purple egg that I never did get a clear look into.

No ma'am. Im sorry i wasnt clear enough but they all hatched together and then brooded together the first week. I would be more concerned if there were a high number of chicks(like 25 chicks to 2 quailies) or if they stayed in the hatcher for a long time. Your welcome. Are you going to keep any of these or are they also hatching for customers?

It should be a pansy.
