I have ALWAYS wanted to see this! CHICKEN x COTURNIX HYBRID!

[monarc23]

This is awesome! in "D" chick you can see both chicken and quail! WOW awesome
A bird is a chicken, B is a "bleu" coturnix (wow i need this color it's NOT a hybrid it's a true color i did not know existed)! and C and D are hybrids:

C looks like a stork in this crossing of a rescessive white coturnix to a chicken:

and heres where I found this out at... i was searching chicken lavander genes and stumbled on this! LOL!: http://jhered.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/93/1/73/F1

Woah, wait, this is for real? I want bird "D"! How freaking adorable! I wonder what pros and cons there are with the hybrids.

the main con is they're sterile which is kinda a good thing if you think about it no one would know anymore if they're getting true chickens or hybrids lol!

Also it's done by artificial insemination... but guess who wants to try this hybridazation atleast once and see what I come up with MEE ME ME!!!

I know you take a rooster chickens semen to a coturnix hen, i know that seems weird as the size of the egg, but somehow it works (read from scientific studies before i found these pictures.

And yeppers its real, even talks about it on feathersite just no pictures

Makes you wonder if you could get a male roo to fertilize a coturnix on his own, maybe those Seramas you're waiting on? Lol.

Now for a coturnix x button!

 

[dinahmay]

Maybe I should put my male coturnix with my buff orpingtons!

He is like a man on viagra. My female coturnix is practically bald from his antics. Apparently she doesn't care, because I've separated them, and they both cry and whine until I return him to the quail cage and his mate.
