FLOWERPOT,

If my cortunix do hatch would you like me to add a few with the button eggs?

 

[FLOWERPOT]

I dunno Steve,
I think Id better stick with the Buttons
I had Corturnix before and I dont have a lot of luck with them

I am building brooders. So they can go in there for now.

what do the cortunix look like?..how big are they?..are those the meat quails?..i may have to check into those also....

check out my website and you can see my coturnix quails.

Jumbos are said to get to an lb but none of my jumbos seem that big....so it seems like it may be a misconception that they get as big as a lb---least that's what some other breeders have said.

Jumbos by the way aren't a breed, just a line of the same breed of quail (coturnix) that were selectivly bred....the biggest quail was bred to the biggest quail resulting in....wellbigger quails.

They come in several colors as well
*British Range aka Tibetan (you can see these on my site)
*Golden- aka Manchurian, and something speckled they are known by (on my site)
*Fawn- i dont think these are vailable in the states
*silver- i dont thnk these are readily available in the states
*A & M- pure white strain produced at the A&M college in texas
*Tuxedo aka White Breasted- I have a mismarked tux on my site, and am getting true tuxedos on saturday and will be posting pictures of them asap
*red head- don think these are in the states yet
*imperfect albino- have no clue where to get these never seen one...this may even just been an A&M ....which they are not albinos at all...an albino has NO pigment and A&Ms have black eyes
*Black
*Cinnamon

and theres more morphs coming all the time.

I'll have A&Ms on my site as well after sat.

was bored decided to add some pics here

^ male on left hen on right (these are normal pharoah coturnix---just means these are the normal wild type coturnix).

^ Tibetan (aka British Range)

^ Mismarked Tuxedo (doesnt have enough white to be a true tux).

^ Golden (aka Manchurian) on the far left

^ a brown (pharoah) hen, with a stray white feather--im going to try and make a new thing out of these.

another brown hen

^normal brown (pharoah) chick

ALL are coturnixs, just different colors, just like theres different colors in the same breed of dog.

I hope I can join the egg swap in the spring. I have a pair of Button Quail but I want more and it would be exciting to hatch my own. Just hoping I get eggs to swap.

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

I hope you can make it to the swap.

I have White Texas A&M Quail... and would love to join a swap...

My hen just started laying a few weeks back and I put her eggs in the bator and had 2 out of 4 hatch just today... (not bad considering about a week ago my one year old little girl had unplugged the bator and it was about 2 hours later before I found it and plugged it back in... The temp had dropped to 68!) And these where some of her first eggs she laid! So I think under the right conditions she should lay some pretty fertile eggs... I just need to learn to pack them and ship them... (I'm still a newbie at all this... LOL)

Here is a pic of my hen "Tweet" (She is missing a few feathers on top... My frisky male just won't leave her alone)

As you can see she isn't much bigger than a handful...

And here are my 2 new babies... "Wagonwagon" and "Diamond" (the kids named them... LOL)

And this one here already is demanding attention...

I only have coturnix quails lol I wonder what I can swap them for, it seems everyone has it already haha!! They're also not jumbos...they're not even normal....they are super itty bitty, just slightly bigger than a button!! I dont know what happend, all the parents from the breeder is HUUUGE! and I end up with itty bitty quails, gah go figure

lol
