BYC Member Interview - JaeG

[JaeG]

YASSSSSS!!!!!

Ok, Button quail photos!

These cute soft brown babies turn into these pretty adults:

They are like a diluted form of the wild colour.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this guy molts out. He's very handsome. It's the Caramel colour which is supposedly only in NZ and Australia. It appears to be sex linked and I've only hatched this one boy - lots of girls keep popping up though! I think it's caused that diluted colour too but I'm not really sure. I'd love to work out their genetics but I have no idea where to start!

And this is Oddball who must be a boy (he has a red tail and is getting blue on his chest) but he has no white bib. And we don't have the 'Blue face' mutation here but maybe I can make it? He is a cinnamon but he's quite different to the other cinnamon boys who already have red right down their fronts (and the usual white bibs).

And here are my almost grown babies. We are keeping a few (at least).

No problem! Have the kids do the diaper changes so there isn't extra work for you. Of course I'm not real sure how one lets the house chickens dust bathe without making a huge mess.

All it would take would be a move to the country (pheasants aren't allowed where we are at present) and I'm in! What is it about birds that's so addictive?
