The high-contrast bird of the group. Gold and white with heavy black barring and blotching, strongest across the back and flanks.
Our own bird, photographed at home this summer.
Gold and white broken up by black barring and blotching, heaviest over the back and flanks. No two are marked quite alike, which is most of the appeal and also the reason we will not promise you a particular pattern from a particular hatch. This is the bird visitors point at first.
Cream shells with brown speckling, the same as the Egyptian Fee. Not blue.
Every quail here has eaten 100% certified organic feed for its entire life. Our quail hatch here and go straight onto a certified organic chick starter, then onto an organic grower ration once they are grown. Not one of them has ever eaten conventional feed. It costs us noticeably more and we think it shows, in the birds and in the eggs.
