The F1 generation will be all brown due to white being recessive. The F2 generation will give you some white, but still mostly brown ones.

Hey folks, egg production is low lately & I'm wondering if Spring is the molt time for coturnix, and therefore might be responsible for the "Egg-onomic downturn"

Have lost the info I need, anyone know what page sexing quail is on? I just got 12 and I cant tell the three boys from the 9 girls. Was told the girls have spots on their chest but to me they all look alike

Sexing info is in the 1st post on page one. Or wait until the Males start crowing to separate them.

brilliantly informative, I was having trouble establishing my corts colors, seems apparent that I have some of all colors, though the tux I have are hens

I got all mine from a breeder earlier this year. They were about half grown and it was a variety I paid 10 bucks for 12 birds and bought 32. We have since culled out our flock and man are they TASTY! Love the eggs too but boy are the difficult to peel when you boil them. I find the buttons easier to peel. Anywho, I thank you for all the colors info I pretty much knew everything else EXCEPT that. I have been curious to no end about colors I thought my tibetans were just abnormal browns LMAO

learn something new everyday, I sure hop one of my male a&ms mates one of my tibetans or vice a versa....WHOOP WHOOP bring on the tuxedo males. Well be having a dinner party! Black tie only!

Drop 5 or 6 of the boiled eggs in a clean can and shake until the shell is pulverized; it will then peel right off.

Hope this helps!
