Bred two pure white King quail from silver parents. Are there many white King quail down south? Thanks

Silver quail can breed almost white through to dark gray, depending on the mix of light or dark genes.
I selectively breed to achieve the different shades in both silver and cinnamon.
Now have light and dark silvers, and light, medium and red cinnamons.

Yes nice darth Vader's. They are a bit less common down here in Vic, I recently had a white hen and red breasted cock bird. the whites and pieds are fairly common and red breasted less so..... my white hen was a great breeder!
