JUST A NEW UPDATE,
Hatched out our first set of Buff Columbian d'Anvers today, have about 30 more eggs going for that project, look good so far.
Also just got in a lot more dun quail and ginger reds.
Plan to use the duns, not only to get khaki quail (which I have one hatched today too)
but also to cross them over to the mottleds and cuckoos as well as a few more to dun those colors.
That will be my next project for this year, F1 crosses for those. Have the lavender silver quail, cuckoos, and mottled down for this F1 season, as well as the blue millies, blue cuckoos, blue mottled, creles, and now going to the duckwings and columbians.
Fingers crossed, in 1-2 more seasons, all these and loads more will be down and perfected
