She was challenged in keeping them alive as well:( She and I decided that our 2 white loner chicks needed to be together. \u00a0Today the 2 are 5 and 6 weeks old and last night when I went to check on them, I found our first egg from one of them! \u00a0So egg-citing as you can imagine! So, we now know that at least 1 of them is a female. \u00a0The other is still unknown because they&#8217;re white, whereas, the standard brown is easy to identify males from females which I will explain in another post later on. Here are pictures of the strangest egg I&#8217;ve seen to date and a white quail, notice the brown patch on the quail.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_120\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roseshadowranch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/0416121949b.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-120\" class=\"size-full wp-image-120\" title=\"Egg from a White Quail\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roseshadowranch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/0416121949b.jpg?resize=584%2C779\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roseshadowranch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/0416121949b.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roseshadowranch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/0416121949b.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roseshadowranch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/0416121949b.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-120\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Egg from a White QuailWhite Coturnix Quail<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With our last hatch of quail we were pleasantly surprised to have hatched out 4 white quail from standard brown coturnix! \u00a0Apparently this is rare. \u00a0Unfortunately we found that they were challenging to keep alive and 3 died for unknown &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/roseshadowranch.com\/?p=119\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2jrxr-1V","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/roseshadowranch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/roseshadowranch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/roseshadowranch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roseshadowranch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roseshadowranch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=119"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/roseshadowranch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":124,"href":"https:\/\/roseshadowranch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119\/revisions\/124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/roseshadowranch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roseshadowranch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roseshadowranch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
