Orange Bobwhite

[quailbrain]

Does anyone have any good picts of the orange bobwhite. I have heard they are also called blondes but the blondes I saw pictured didn't look like the orange to me.

Don't have pictures of them...but got eggs in the bator

Will yours look like these ? These ones have poor feathers to me but an interesting color.

 

[SamG347]

Yes

I can't wait to see a fully feathered adult. I am only assuming this picture is of younger birds cause their feathers look so poor.

 

[SamG347]

Those birds arent young. Probably the way they are kept or possibly moulting.

Just seen this beautiful male at a breeders today. He gets that orange by crossing snowflake and Tennessee red. The parents are in cage too. I'm assuming the poor juvenile being male that daddy is feather ruffing him up.
