You know I never paid attention to which way generated more gold on the golden tux....works first generation either way.

I may try it both ways in a month or so, let me get some of these brooded out.

The member here that wrote the book "Coturnix Revolution" had some golden tux birds that were getting a lot of patterning but she was a few generations in before they had more than a large gold rump spot.

See if you notice an increase in aggression from the gold tuxes. Seems to me they always end up aggressive.

I also noticed your processing video showing birds with heads intact. Was curious how / why you did it. I witnessed as a kid people just slit the throats of chickens and ducks and held it firmly to drain out all the blood. Would that be considered humane? I think with the heads intact the birds could still "feel" the pain, no?

Sorry I didn't see this. Refer to post number 58 on this thread.
