I really like making my fancy critter breeding projects way too involved and complex, to the point that I never finish them because it would take decades. When it was fish it was alpha sailfin lyretail swordtails. With bunnies it is broken blue rex-coated mandolin semi-giants. Now I am also dreaming of jumbo curly-feathered celadon auto-sexing roux-charcoal quail.
@James Marie did a great write-up on fb I liked that addressed this and other breeding considerations that I would love him to post here (I would've commented straight on it, Robbie, but I don't have a fb! It is great. I feel like there's a marked lack in detailed, quail-specific breeding advice out there compared to other critters and I'm thrilled with everyone helping to change that).
Like I said to Turk earlier, I have acquired a lot of breeding
techniques over the decades (that can't be true
) I've been breeding critters, but I've always had too much species ADD to ever really accomplish much other than multiplying neat things and passing them along. Which can still be great - propagating endangered bettas was amazing! - but making it to the 3rd and 4th generation in a project and seeing consistent improvement is really satisfying.
I feel like I will probably breed quail and rabbits as long as we live here or somewhere similar. But, not going to lie - we ever get real land they are most likely going to get phased out for ducks and goats and teeny tiny cows.
definitely at least 2 though.
