Yes ... had this once with a hen, which was starting to lay.
The layer system was still in developement.

I just ordered eggs from southwest game birds with a ship week of 2/15. I'll set some of my own too provided they are fertile.. all the eggs I cracked yesterday were not yet. I've only had supplemental light on those males for about a month, was not intending to use them for breeding but the male I wanted to use was a jerk.

I still cannot point out the "Egyptians".
Are these Roux Dilute or light Pharaos or anything else.

We have a color mutation, coming from the Netherlands the last years, we call (translated) Brown-Wildpattern. Are these Egyptians? Or how would these be called in the US?

those just look like wild type or pharaoh to me

 

[muddy75]

Oh so beautyful birds

Yes, they have the Fee gene, I know it. I got 100% Falb Fees crossing them with a Pharao roo.
I thought this is the Dilute, in Roux Dilute

So Egyptians are Roux. Cool
that this is cleared now

egyptian is the roux dilute....they are more of a reddish beige with wild-type feather sexable pattern. the one @FloorCandy pictured is a red-range, scarlet, or roux depending on individual nomenclature. i will post an “egyptian” picture. as I have several

Top picture is pharaoh in the ditch and bottom pic has an Egyptian top left looking through the fence with other assorted colors around the plant

I candled my eggs last night....trashed 4 non fertile definite early quitters.....kept in 7 questionable and the rest looked good!

Great news! Your quail are laying now! Glad to hear it.

No, wishful thinking

No, wishful thinking

Keep wishing. You wishes will eventually come true. If you haven't eaten all the girls.
