➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

My wife might kick me out if I start taking blue pills

Not if you take the magical ones.

Should keep your mind off the cigarettes.

Are you in the new house yet?

No not yet we have to get inspections and everything done it’ll be around July when we move I’m sure

Are you in the new house yet?

But I’m already planning where I’m going to build everything

Wow, do you think it’s wings will stay with the white on them as an adult?

I don't really know, never had that occur in my Valley's. Keep us posted, I'm interested to see if it does have the white after it's first molt.

I highly recommend the magical blue pills.


Thanks!
I'm still surprised I've done it.

I feel like a millionaire.

She might kick me out faster with that one.

Turns out Wonky, the chick with with wonky neck also has this white on ‘her’ wings She’s feathering much much slower than all the others.

They definitely are the only two with it out of the batch. I’ll keep you updated with how they continue to feather out.

If it does happen to be the albino gene, and these two ended up being Male and female would their chicks be white? I never knew of any California quails being white before!

Albino is a recessive gene, so there's no guarantee that the chicks would be white, but there would be a chance.

No guarantee but it could happen. Albinism is the results of a recessive gene. If both have it? then there's a chance but not anything I'd be willing to bet the farm on!

I've never had any of my Valley's have the white feathers...I've hatch around 2,000 of them through the years.
I did have a Bob, like that one time but I figured it was due to a White English being in the mix?
