Bobwhite Quail
Bobwhite quail are a well known gamebird. Many color variations have come about over the years. The colors I have are snowflake, silver and fawn. Although they come in different colors, the male still has the traditional bobwhite call. They are a hardy bird and are easy to keep. Incubation is 22-23 days. |
