➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

So this would make mine (the one I posted the picture of) a tuxedo, correct? Because mines colored parts are not in the right spots?

Yes, it would be a Range Tuxedo - Range Tuxedos can have various white plumage markings just like any other Tuxedo. Look at the two pics I posted here of the two extremes in pattern. Also note that the one that is heavy white plumage has a marking under it's eye (cheek area) the geneticist I'm working with noted the marking on the picture and pointed out to me even with the marking it doesn't make it a Panda since it's a offspring of Tuxedo.


Fwiw. I am the one calling mine a panda only because that is kinda what I understood it to be.

Let me know when you get sick of the pictures. #3 is another dark one. From the stance and the noise, I'm guessing roo.
Edit: One of the jumbos has hatched!

I will never get sick of seeing baby quails!! Or really any baby animal for that matter.

I'm breaking out some white nail polish to mark the jumbos with. I have to keep them separate since they're not mine. So far I don't think there will be a problem telling them apart, but it's best to be sure.

The nail polish on the feet didn't work so well for me. It wore off fast and I didn't reapply it soon enough. I gave up on that one. Found 1 with a trace of blue on the edge of the nail.
Better use food coloring on the down someplace. Don't use red, though.
Best wishes!

The second jumbo is almost out of its shell, and I saw a pip in the celadon egg!

I dont ever tire of chick pics! Is anyone else hatching now too?

My button hen started laying again! More eggs for the HAL HAL

Jumbo #2 and the celadon just hatched. I see another pip or two, I think.

Edit: Jumbo #2 was the first of the jumbos to pip. It was getting close to the 24 hour mark, so I was getting worried.

I'm thinking this light thing is a boy.
