Hi guys and gals, been looking at the Kansas City Quail website and they have some awesome new quail strains from James Maria Farms. So many beautiful color patterns!
The purpose (or excuse lol) for me getting these birds is to make healthy eggs for the family. And meat from the culls I suppose, but not looking forward to that. Anyways, the most commonly used quail for this purpose is the jumbo egg maker strain. The big plus to this wild coloration strain is you can easily tell the males from the females as early as 3 weeks old.
However, they have a Golden Layer strain that supposedly lays big beautiful eggs as well. Their body size is not quite as big as their jumbo cousins but their eggs are very nearly the same size. The color sexing may not be quite as obvious as the original but i’m Guessing it shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out.
I’ll try to put the link below, can you guys take a look and tell me what you think of them?
Thanks!
