Hello. How to manage in-breeding of chinese painted quails?

Can you rephrase the question? Right now the obvious answer is to just not breed related pairs together

Basically can only go so many generations before problems but back breeding to parents helps a little in the beginning plus do you know if the eggs/babies/grown ones u got are already in breed a bit or not related? Always good to add fresh blood

I prefer this answer though

I like the way you think but I thought their question was how to manage inbreeding in Chinese painted quail? ....I seriously don't know why anyone would want to intentionally manage in-breeding but there are alot of different peeps out there.

One method is to split the first generation of offspring into two groups. Inbreed (line breed) each group in subsequent generations without mixing the two groups. Each group will develop a different genetic drift. After a half-dozen generations, or at the first sign of inbreeding depression, outbreed by crossing the two different groups. The whole process is then repeated.

Hi there! After a year, my trio of Chinese Painted Quails multiplied and they are a lots now. I tried hatching tru incubators and natural hatching. Raising Chinese Painted Quails is fun but a little bit challenging. I manage to answer my questions about “in-breeding”. So far, I do not experience yet for any diseases of my quails. Now, I am selling eggs, chicks or ready to lay eggs quails. You may check my channel how I did and doing it. Thanks for BYC, that with the thread I’ve read, I am learning.
