That's cool to hear. If you dont mind me asking, what are you going to outcross with to introduce dominate white into them? I have seen these in Belguim before.
Had considered making some myself, already have dominate white going on a couple of crosses, but wanted to wait til the current project was complete. That way I could just use pure d'anvers to continue with dominate white based projects. Want to do it to my buff columbians too for basically a white tailed buff.
I have also seen lavender based quail before from Europe which look awesome. Plan to work on them soon too. Basicly they look porcelain body colored with a pale blue tail... pretty nice. Good luck on the white quail project. If you need any advice, feel free to ask!
Well, I was thinking of using Red Pyle OEGBs. Now, before you start laughing
(I know it's an odd breed to outcross d'Anvers to
) , here's how I plan to do it...
- RPOEGB + Quail d'Anver
= 100% incomplete White Quail progeny
- Backcross the progeny with other Quail d'Anvers.
= this will give me largely White Quails, which is good, because I'll need to 'un-OEG' them.
Another project I plan to try, is cross Creles (OEGBs again) with Quails to get Gold Tiger-Barred. My friend bred the original Tiger-Barred (red groundcolored, though) in Turkens. It is Duckwing + Columbian + Barred + Melanotic. So it's basically Barred Quail. But it doesn't look like it would be Barred Quail. It looks like a Barred Buff bird with black stripes alongside the barring. Breeding these would basically be the same as the White Quails.
