Quote:
They were native to Europe migrated to Asia, many facts of them migrated in large flocks in Egyption and Biblical times. Yes some were taken to Japan thru China. Not native to Japan. Marsh Farms even gave them names like Pharaoh, English whites, British Range.....how many Pharaoh are there in Japan......not Japanese Quail.

Thanks deerman! The whole japonica part is difficult to follow. I haven't had time to delve into scientific papers (whatever might exist) on the regional variants & doubt I'll have time anytime soon. (If they are even available here....)ome might be, but I'd probably have to ILL a lot of them.)

Hmmm. This might make a fun project for me next summer....

No. Slapping my own hands. I've already got three massive projects set up for next summer. No time for another...
