Quail Breeds

[wordgirl]

Hello everybody!

I'm working on the Other Poultry Breeds database project and was wondering if you could help us out. I personally know pretty much nothing about quail, but I need to make a list of the breeds that we need pages for. So what ARE some quail breeds? I've got Coturnix, Bobwhite, and Button - but I think there are more?

Can anybody help us out?

Thank you!

So Far As I Know Many Many Speces Of Quail Are Kept Throughout The World By Avicultural Hobbyists, They Are Also 1 Of Most Popular Farm Raised Gamebirds Worldwide For Food Or Conservation. There Are Many Many Speces Around The World... I Just Hit The More Common Ones, In All There Are About 2 Dozen Different Speces In The Hobby Throughout The World, Some Are Quite Common And Easily Cared For , Others Extremely Rare Or Endangered And God-awful Expensive And Severely Difficult To Keep So They Run The Full Gambit

Button quail is a catch phrase. The correct name is Chinese Blue Breasted Quail or CBBQ for short

Yeah...butt!
You missed Japanese (Coturnix) quail, and Bobwhites..
Well, buttons....never pan fried one, but that species deserves a mention.

Are we thinking "CHICKEN" here?
