Sorry for your losses!




With tuxedos...there is no such thing as a "pure breed" tux. Pure would mean that 100% of the time, 100% of the offspring would look like the parents. With a tuxedo, you are guaranteed 50% of the offspring would be tux, 25% would be the same as the base color and 25% would be white.

Due to shipping cost, it would be cost prohibitive to ship live birds unless you are getting a quantity....$5 for a bird plus $10 bucks for the box and $60+ shipping and handling, that coturnix would be worth it's weight in gold. Incubating eggs might be your best solution, then you can bond with a chick from the beginning ...with eggs just a reminder, anyone selling you tux eggs and guarantee they will all be tux is pulling your leg, so be cautious.

Wish you the best of luck!

I have typed this out several times myself Bill, deleted it because I feared the information would be taken as a assault... Good on you for put'n the info out there... A tux is not a " pure breed" of coturnix... I'm not sure there are many lines of coturnix left one could use the term "pure" to describe... Bill
