 NO!!!! The chickens would tear them up. They are kept separate; separate food, water, and treats.

I have my quail with my chickens and there fine

You can manipulate egg color by genetic selction. I can make any bird lay any color egg (except celedon) if i have a few generations to play with it.

Hello! I am gonna get some jumbo coturnix quail and I was wondering if they were much different to the normal sized besides the size

 

[kingmt]

Jumbo are usually more tame.

Not all the birds you see advertised as jumbo are actually jumbo tho.

So this sounds like a good topic for discussion. What are the characteristics / requirements for a jumbo to be a jumbo?
