"champagne " colored tuxedo patterned Coturnix ?

[Buttercup Chillin]

Well, I don't know what color. I only have Jumbo Browns and Manchurian Golds so far. So that's all I really know for nowand I had to get my M. Golds verified. But more to come and I will learn colors as I go.

It's a pretty girl. Are you in Texas? I bet she would go well with one of my big M. Gold boys. Lord knows I have 9 4 weekers so I have extras.

Its a shame others were picking on them. Seems the Whites always getting picked on. My Big Bad Bertha pecked both of my Whites and I had to cull them. I could have given them Poly Vi Sol and blue coated them. But at the time I didn't have an extra pen for them. I do now.

Did you have to give them Vitamins to build them up and help pull them through?

Are they laying for you yet? Sometimes after trauma and a change it takes a while for them to get back in stride. I am assuming they are at least 7 weeks.

Very pretty. Good luck with them.

That's a white coturnix. Dust bathing in sand that has a very high content of red clay.

It tints them yellow to orange, depending on the clay content of the sand.

Wow, I don't know why everyone insists on that being a white stained bird. Open your minds people. I can see pure white feathers amongst the champagne so it is obviously NOT staining or they would all be that color. Staining doesn't miss one feather perfectly & stain all the others around it. You have an unusual colored bird there. I would pm monarc23 & ask her what she thinks as she seems to be knowledgeable.

It is just the most logical explanation that I can come up with at the moment. However, if you have raised more (White Coturnix) than I have...then I would forget about PM's to anyone. It is a white coturnix...nothing more!
Anyone that tells you otherwise, is just yanking your chain.
Never confuse my amounts of posts with my amount of experience with any species that I post on.

They are about 1 year old. Both have been laying non stop since the day they were given to me. they didn't even stop long enough to adjust to their new home...lol
I was putting antibiotic drops in their eye sockets for a while but that's it. They had been like that for weeks before i got them. The other girl is fine unless she stresses then she "spins" .I think the injury caused some nerve damage or something...she's a good girl in any case and i'm happy they were given to me instead of being culled.

Sorry, but it's not from dust baths cuz they don't have one...well they have pine shavings to fluff around in but that's it

Whatever it is, they are very pretty birds!

A clean white rag and a little water would tell you a lot about if it is stained or what not, turpentine in pine shavings would produce about that color . Walmarts pine shavings cost more then southern states but they are dryer and do not stain the white birds as quickly. this is why I put mine on wire as quickly as I do, that and it gets / keeps the poo balls off their feet.
