I THINK WHAT HE'S TRYING TO TELL YOU IS THE MEXICAN SPECKLEDS ARE CROSSES, NOT TRUE MEXICAN SPECKLEDS

 

[BobwhiteQuailLover]

OO. I thought he was talking about the jumbos. Hmmm. I dont have any pure birds.

 

[JJMR794]

The Colony Shown In These Pictures Are From Crossed Birds--- There's Too Many Of Them That Have Incorrect Coloration To Be Pure. Even The Brown Birds Most Appear Washed Out. Or Way Too Light Colored With Hints Of Blonde Showing In Them.

 

[BobwhiteQuailLover]

Should I separate the colors?

 

[Robo]

If that's what you are breeding them for. You cannot sell a bird that is not pure. If it is crossed with another color that will be false advertizing. I would separate them come spring if you want pure color strains.

Buy some eggs from JJ or another person to get pure stock. If you start off with mixed colors, you are going to get some angry people.
