Can I House Button, Cortunix, & Bobwhites Together?

Well this makes me feel better! I didn't wanna give my bobwhite back because I really like him/her! I'd love it if they crossed breed! How neat ill just leave them all together and hopefully everything goes well!! Fingers crossed!!

I hear that crossbreeding between coturnix and bobs can occur but most of the time the babies will be sterile.

;-( Well I mean it would be neat to just leave that one in there and see what I get! Just sale them when I get so many for meat birds?

You really wouldn't love it if they cross breed. It is so hard on the coturnix that most would call it inhumane.

Edited to clarify. The cross only works one way, IIRC it has to be a coturnix hen/bob roo.
