No, it is not possible to breed a Coturnix Quail and a Button Quail together and produce viable offspring.@TudyBOT , can you breed a coturnix Quail and a button quail and produce viable offspring?
Coturnix Quails belong to the genus Coturnix, while Button Quails belong to the genus Turnix. The two genera have different numbers of chromosomes, which makes it impossible for them to interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
Furthermore, even if hybridization were somehow possible, the offspring would likely be sterile, as is the case with most hybrids between closely related but genetically distinct species.
It is important to stick to breeding within the same genus or species to avoid producing sterile or non-viable offspring.
