last weekend i bought 3 king quails to add new blood to my breeding program when i went to get them he only had 3 and wonted to sell them 2 cocks and a hen when i saw one of the cocks i thought it looked a bit strange so when i cought it i inspected it closley and found it to have 4 large whitd pied markings on his brest he was a pied
I also bought his pair of doves as they were the first pair of birds i ever bred
Ill post pics when i get the chance as im quite busy and now on dial up
