➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

I was going to like the post, but I can't like those stats. I hope the twins do well.

It's my worst hatch to date.

Can anyone tell me the difference between wilds and pharaoh/Egyptians? They look the same to me.

I thought wild type was pharaoh.

"Wild type" is a genetic term. It means the gene/trait that is most prevalent in wild populations—i.e., not mutated. Wild type Japanese quail have the color phenotype of wild Coturnix—we've just given this color a common name, Pharaoh.

Are you referring to the myshire ones? Because I think they are trying to brand a specific color as Egyptian. In most of the literature I have found on coturnix, the "wild" type is called pharaoh or Egyptian.

I thought Egyptians were what some people called roux dilute? I've only ever heard people call the typical brown birds wild type or Pharaoh.

Jumbos! Jumbos! Jumbos! Jumbos!



You’re going to have much better luck with the jumbos, just don’t off your most rowdy boy in the very beginning again.

That was a huge mistake.

Would you believe the only make I kept from that first batch does not crow.

He has maybe 5 times total.

I'm beginning to think he isn't so normal and maybe that's why he doesn't mate all of his girlfriends. It part if the reason why.

Okay so:

Wild type = pharoah

Myshires extremely specific sex-linked roux dilute hatches = Egyptian (don't ask me why I hate it)

Yarp, my sweet quiet boys rarely get the job done. My birdroom is full of noisy jerks.
