A lot of talking latley if it is possible to interbreed Bobwhite with Coturnix quail. So why not test and see, I have Bobwhite females with Japanese Coturnix male.
Supposedly a cross between them is called a “Bobbird” but since the coturnix is an “old world” quail and the Bob is a “new world” quail the offspring will be mules.
I Checked the eggs after 1 week and there as nothing going on inside of them, maybe the rooster was not active enough or it is not possible to do, I have seen others claiming that it is possible
None of my Bobwhite nor our Coturnix are Cross. They are always happy quail. That's cause we love'em. In all seriousness, I'm considering putting 40 corurnix in with the same number of Bobwhite I'm our 25' flight pen for a month and incubating the eggs from each week. Bobix Quail?
My button will not stop mounting my Celadon Coturnix hen 😅 that’s how I ended up here. Wondering if button and coturnix can breed lmaoooo. I’m 100000% positive someone would’ve done it by now if it was possible. Especially since logistically.. it is. And they’ll clearly “do it” 💀 but ughhh a cross between a coturnix and button.. a medium sized quail… would be soooo cute 😭
