Here are some pics of the Coturnix I hatched out over the weekend. There are... 3 Blacks 1 Black/brown 1 Golden 9 Jumbo browns
LOL they are awesome! I love raising gamebirds. The Jumbo browns and the golden are from my own breeders....the blacks are going to become my future breeders for my JUMBO BLACK coturnix breeding project. I have more Blacks due tonight/tomorrow!! And some bobwhite eggs coming in the mail this week!
Sam thoughs babies are CUTE!!! I just took your grandquailies to there bigger brooder today at my parents and they will stay there till there 8 weeks then off to the farm house with the big girls and boys and yes i see you are in the process of making my JUMBO BLACK future egg order
Oh my goooosh. The one with the pink/ black toes is so precious! Is that common for them to have? I loove it!
No...the black birds are a not so common color in the U.S. They are British Dark Range birds...with a Double Factor gene. The brown chick hatched from the same eggs but he only has a single factor. They are more commonly known as Tibettans...but most tibettans are brown. Im going to be building up a breeding program for JUMBO BLACKS....so these and the ones hatching today and tomorrow will be the foundation for this program. Thanks!
