The fun information were which colours had the best and worst hatch rates. Mixed had the best.

What was the worst?

 

[FortCluck]

I saw the tail end of it

What was the worst?

I can't remember. I wasn't paying much attention at that point, and I didn't listen to the end.

Hi guys, I’m new here, can I jump in?

@FortCluck, I had a lot of foot & eye issues with silvers as well. It’s super heartbreaking. Sorry you’re going through that.

That’s so sad. Looks like none of us will continue with silvers

Is this a problem that can be solved with outcrossing or does it ruin them? If this is a very dumb question feel free to ignore, I am still just trying to learn about quail and color variation is something I know zero about. Obviously.

Yeah, they’re so pretty but not worth putting so many that. I’m not a super experience hatcher and I worried I had done something wrong but like you experienced it was just the silvers. All the other colors were fine.

That’s fun you have a celadon layer. I’ve been thinking of adding some but wanted to find out if their were genetic issues attached to that like with the silver gene.

I think the main problem is they already have a lower breed true percentage and that basically gets cut in half when one isn't a silver
