[Amer]

In general? Or?

Yeah
What do they look like all grown up?

I have a breeder pen with 2 trios.
I'll take pics of them in the next few days.
I know they're a bit raggedy ATM but they're all getting close to being 2 year olds.

My girl Praline is 4 in perfect condition (because she molts frequently) and got reserve bantam at the state fair (and started molting again)
She is my oldest bird now

Those really are cool looking little birds.
How many approved varieties are there?

Quail, Mille Fluer, Porcelain, Mottled, Black, White, Blue, Self Blue by the APA.
Blue quail and many others by the ABA. Sadly, silver quail isn’t accepted by them, but I want to get some someday and start working with the club to get them accepted.
In 5 years the club wants to get the blue quail accepted by the APA because the blue quails are just as good as quails which are known to be the variety with the best breed type.

Oh, I forgot, cuckoo is also APA accepted

I was about to ask

You’d think I would remember to mention them, considering I raise them, but nope.

That quail looks a lot like a chicken.

2 is a barred silver duckwing

Very beautiful birds!
They have great quality Lavender feathers too. Did you make them from scratch?

So beautiful! I'll finally get to start working on that color next year in my Ameraucana.

Can't wait to see it!
