Tuxedo Quail

[BulmanFarms]

Probably an obvious question, but I am new to the world of quail. How do you guys get tuxedo quail? I understand it is a cross breed of two birds but which two? Also I really want the red Tuxedos over the darker brown ones. Thanks guys!

P.S. Are tuxedos the same as a coturnix quail as far as meat production and and egg laying?

Thanks guys!

they are good dual purpose birds and generally you get them by crossing an A&M (White) and the colour of your choice (Pharaoh, Golden, British Range, Fawn, etc...)

Tuxedos can be bred to carry almost as much weight as the larger coturnix and some of my tuxedos put out my largest eggs (of course egg size is a genetic trait that you can breed for (either smaller or larger))

If your selling quail they also tend to have a good market people really seem to like that color.

Here are a couple different tux color varieties and after work I'll put up a picture of yet another.

I tried breeding for a tiebetan tux, but it was always white or brown. do you have a hatch %?

I get tibetan tuxs' out of my tibetan tux lol. The rosettas sometimes put out chicks that are tibetan looking but have pattern inconsistencies. Honestly all of my tuxedo birds come from two 1:3 breeding cages. I don't really pay attention to my ratio on those because I sell or eat them all lol. The only ones I select and put back into my flock are the goldens/pharaohs.

EITHER YOU CAN BUY THEM FROM HATCHERIES IN FORM DELIVERED AS HATCHING EGGS.
THEY ARE GREAT LOOKING AND I AM KEEPING MY ROSETTA QUAILS AND TUXEDO(PHARAOH) TOGETHER. THEY ARE EARLY AND VERY CONSISTENT EGG LAYERS. IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIMENT, THEN YOU CAN CROSS BREED WHITES WITH ROSETTA COLORED ONES. I AM GETTING MINE AS BLOOD LINE REFRESHERS FROM PINESHIRE AND MYSHIRE FARMS AS HATCHING EGGS. THEY ARE GREAT LOOKING BIRDS, VERY TAME IF TRAINED AND HENS LIKE TO SING ALSO!
HAVE A FUN
