Breeding quail with solid black eggs

[Dan Clark]

I’m kind of wondering if it’s possible to breed contournix quail to have solid black or white eggs. I noticed that a few of my birds eggs have light spots and some have large areas that are spotted almost half way. Thought it might be fun to try doing that as long as I am raising hens. is it possible or have you heard of anyone doing similar?

I have never seen a black egg. I have seen white ones where the spots have rubbed off or the pigment didn't apply, and I have seen blue (celadon) eggs.

I don't know if you can breed for those, however.
