hi Chris unfortunately the ebayer is no longer registered, they were advertised as assorted quail eggs.
i was just interested to know wether it is a Italian quail or perhaps some sort of throwback or even a joke played on me like a cookoo in the nest he he.
The other birds out of the dozen all hatched into bog standard cortenix, 11 hens one cock (how lucky).
cheers anyways, pete.

Could be a Hungarian cross a dark form of coturnix. Hungarians have a small beard (not as obvious as on a Daurian).
The real oddity is the fact that it lays. It would be astonishing if it could lay fertile eggs.

ya i is kind of a cool looking bird so if were able to lay fertile eggs you might have just started your own species!  s020

If anyone has or knows how to access American Birding Association magazines from 1968, that has accounts (pictures???) of various claimed perdix/coturnix/colinus hybrids.

She almost looks like a tennesse red bobwhite. Note the white on the front of this one almost a bib.
