jumbo coturnix, I ordered pharaoh but ended up with 2 yellow chicks with brown stripes. When I asked my seller, the reply was "that sometimes happens, they end up as big as the brown ones". So now I am looking for another vendor for round 2. I paid for 18 eggs, about half broken in shipping and non viable. Taking that into account, I had over 80% hatch rate which I am happy with as long as I was just kiling them with kindness. Though I still feel like crap about it. Finding quail here let alone jumbo pharaoh coturnix here is kind of like looking for a needle in a haystack here in quebec! I found a local girl, el cheapo eggs at $4/dozen but she doesn't even know what her birds ARE. Well so maybe I try them and see?
