That second to last one could be a red. Which is a hybrid of the browns.

A hybrid of the Tibetan. Just like your Tuxedo.

so they're pure coturnix, not mixed breed. I read somewhere they were mixed breed?

 

[orumpoultry]

All colors are technically hybrid except for Tibetan and Japanese ( browns ) most others were bred with selective breeding, if I remember correctly. There may be other "natural" colors I am not aware of so don't quote me on that.

They'll all breed together and you'll get percentages of each color down. A gold male over a gold female will produce all gold unless there's a brown gene present. A brown male over a golden female will produce half brown half gold and vice versa IF both parents are true to color and do not have anything hiding in their color gene pool.

 

[orumpoultry]

To specifically answer your question. Yes, they're all Coturnix. Just color hybrids.

My chicken coop. It never got into the house, but we only had 1 1/2 foot to spare. WE had to move everything out of the house. We found some wonderful people to keep our chickens for us until we can get back in our yard. We are waiting on round two. Next week it will peek again. It should not get this high, but it may get back into the coop and bottom of the yard below the retaining wall. We had a lot of chickens to move. I was please that I only had one casualty in all of this so far. We will still have to move them back. It is getting soo hot here we will have to move them at night. Hopefully, within three weeks we will have them back. It smells like an old lake with low water... It STINKS!!

so before I get all the breeding pens done I can just run them together? I'm still working out males from females. I know I have 3 red tuxedo in there also that came from a different place.

I house all colors together until about six weeks when they start breeding activity. Then I separate.

Cathy, I am so sorry for your troubles! At least your birds are safe!

My in-laws live over that way....their old pasture/camp is now a "lake". At least they don't run cattle any more. So sorry you are going thru this. Praying no losses for you and that it doesn't reach the house! ETA: what parish are you in?
