I also breed Tibetan, Fharoah and White Coturnix Quail Eggs and Breeding Groups It is now your opportunity to share in this development of purebred GOLDEN ITALIAN QUAIL BREEDING GROUPS or GOLDEN ITALIAN QUAIL FERTILE HATCHING EGGS. The Italian Quail has specifically been bred for maximum egg production and is slightly smaller in size than the other breeds, even though it lays an egg of equal size. Males often have a brownish head that appears to belong to a different bird. These birds are beautiful fawn colored with speckles all over and no bars. Careful responsible breeding and strenuous selection would result in birds with as low an inbreeding co-efficient as possible and hopefully a more disease resistant, highly fertile, healthy, happy, beautiful and productive quail at the end of the day. These characteristics I intend to maintain and develop for each strain within the limitations provided by the limited genetic material available. Each of these strains has specific characteristics such as plumage, conformation and size, temperament, egg and meat production ability, etc. It is my intention to keep this strain pure and not mix it with other strains such as the English / Texan A and M Whites, Tibetan / Tuxedo and Fharoahs (Wild Colored Quail) all which I also breed. If no supplemental light is given, they will taper off egg production in the Fall as the days grow shorter and will pick back up.

At present there are a few true breeding mutations of the Coturnix Quail, of which the GOLDEN ITALIAN is one. Egg Production: Excellent (During Spring and Summer these quail will lay 6 eggs a week, if given supplemental light they will lay year-round, potential for 300 eggs a year.
