"paisley"and white"turtle neck" Button Quails?

[mhwc56]

So i just bought some Button eggs off ebay . I'm told that some of the colors they raise are "paisley" and white "turtle necks", "black" and "carmel brown" ( there's also cinnamon so i don't think the "carmel browns" are that ..but i have no idea) What are they really... anyone know?

also, what amount of cage space do a pair of Button quail require since i want to be sure my new cages are made large enough ?

anyone out there?

Someone doesn't know how to name button quail

That is sure frustrating

A little hamster cage can suffice for a pair. The size if you are making cages

The "black coloring" is probably a blue face, caramel sounds like red breasted...you will probably have to wait until they hatch. But I assure you the person has no clue what they are talking about with the names.

that's kind of what i thought from what they called them.
i cannot wait to get eggs and find out what hatches out....
so a hamster cage is what..about 12" X 12" or so?

That sounds like the correct sizing. Make sure no wire bottoms and you are all set

i just heard back from the folks who have the parents..."paisley" is white with splashes of light and dark browns." Turtle necks" are white / silver neck bibs like a V - neck.
so technically what would that be ?

LOL. That would be splash and silver.

it's going to be fun to see any of these chicks hatch ..hehehe
1 thing's for sure , these people are very fond of their birds ...they share their meals with their favorites and spend alot of time with them.

I like the idea of a paisley quail.
