Title: Snowflake quail
Post by: quaillady on March 02, 2011, 11:06:35 PM
I am looking for information on the Snowflake quail. How this breed started, who started it, location etc.
I plan to start raising them for shows so need all the info I can gather. Thank you.

Jan, Shoot me an email and I'll send you a article written by the guy that started them from one chick in 2004, I have had my start  from him in 2007, Thanks for your order of eggs, I believe you will enjoy them very much.

Hope your enjoy your eggs as well,I do believe the Snowflakes came from the Mexicans as in 2000 my son was two years old I had 200 Mexican Eggs hatch with 40 of them being Snow white as they aged with the markings of a speckle..Breeding these Snow white birds,they bred true to color..Of course my own opinion......Enjoy your eggs and Happy hatching!
