I hatched out 400 quail this spring. All I have is a Little Giant Still Air, and hovabator as a hatcher.

What kind of incubator do you use?

I have my LG and a hovabator right now. Ya know my closet would make a good incubator.

So I have a questions about the White Bobs. Is there another fancy name for them and where did they originate? They have really sparked my interest and would like to know more about them.

I am almost positive that they are just a color mutation of the northern bobs. I have never heard of them being called anything but white bobs. Hope this helps/

THEY ARE MERELY A STRAIN OF BOB WHITE THAT IS WHITE IN COLOR, NO DIFFERENT THAN THE ENGLISH WHITE/ A&M VERSIONS OF COTURNIX

THERE ARE MANY COLOR MUTATIONS IN BOBS SUCH AS ORANGE, BLONDE, TENNESSEE REDS, SNOWFLAKE, MEXICAN SPECKLED, AND OF COURSE WHITE
