Silver Coturnix

[Whitehouse Quail]

Does anyone know where to find these? I want some eggs!

And cinnamon, those are nifty!

Can you somehow breed them from a brown, since this is part of the genetics? Or do you have to have the mutants to create more mutants?

Thanks in advance!

What You Have To Have Is 2 Parents That Carry The Recessive Gene Wether Silver Or Cinnamon (both Need To Be The Same) A Split To Silver + Split To Silver Will Result In Silvers, Split To Silvers And Browns--- Same Thing With Cinnamons. For Cinny's Try Peeps N Bunnies Down Here In Fla.... I Have Some Of Her Stock But No Where Near Enough To Offer Eggs--- If You Find A Source For Silvers Let Me Know

Silvers would be nice to find.

Being new to quail, and raising initially for meat purposes, are there any benefits to breeding different birds? I am raising what I was told is jumbo coturnix.

These are just for ornamental purposes. Jumbos are the best for meat, hands down, except maybe (pure) A&Ms if you want white meat.

I actually get Cinnamons out of My tibetan Female and Golden male breeding pair. I have kept a Cinnamon female to breed to our Golden Male.
She is Beautiful!! and we actually just sold a Cinnamon Tuxedo. That was a cool combo.

I've not even heard of silvers, I doubt you'll have any luck getting them. I have a few cinnamons, but they are in a community pen until it gets cool enough to build new pens

My original cinnamons came from peepsnbunnies as well
