I believe his post was asking if any one had seen any mutations in valley's and Gambel's.  I haven't had any myself, but another breeder I know had an albino Gambel's chick a few years back which I belive she posted on this website.

You have a good memory Wirt!
I did have one white Gambel's quail hatch out. I got the eggs from a breeder in Texas, bird288, another member here. He has had a few other white gambel's hatch out from some of his birds. Mine didn't make it to full feathering. These birds are simply mutations, they are not bred to produce anything but normal birds. Jay just happens to have a bird that produces these occasionally. I'll try to attach a pic.
