I’m going to be hatching quail every week starting in January and ending in March, then after they all get grown I’m going to sell them. I kind of need the money lol.

I'm not an expert on genetics at all, but I do like the idea of just hatching out birds for fun -- not creating a new breed, but just picking and choosing the birds to breed and see what happens.
I'd like to see what a cockerel of a Porcelain Booted Bantam hen and a Brown OEGB would look like, though -- I only have a little pullet:

I've toyed with the idea of actually trying to breed lots of those crosses -- I'd call them Old Booted English Games, probably.

What kind of quail? My mother wants to raise some for meat.

Golden Manchurian Coturnix. They’d probably be good meat birds.

Sounds like an interesting cross.

So not the Jumbo Japanese?

I don’t know if they’re jumbo or not.

She's quite pretty.
If I do try breeding them, though, it'll be a few years -- things are going to get busy soon.
