Just hatched 4 albino quail... Help!!

[beakybird]

Hello, I have just joined up as I need some advice. I have just hatched quail and all 4 that have hatched so far are albino. I have never seen or heard of this before, does anyone have any experience of this and are there health defects associated?

Any advice welcomed!!

Thanks

First, I know nothing about quail. I did a little searching and found you a great looking thread that seems to be very active for quite some time. I would ask you question there and see if they know anything. Just jump in at the end to ask. There looks to be some great info in there too.

Good luck!

Can we see a picture or two? I would love to see some "Albino" quail. Also they might just be pure white A&Ms

Four in any size batch seems to be very unlikely. Is it possible you had some recessive white ones? Are their eyes red/pink?

Or the English White. We had one member who had an Albino chick. I'm at work, and the photo is blocked by our internet police.
