Chinese painted quails (Coturnix chinensis) - wild type

Chinese painted quail / Chinese dwergkwartel / Zwergwachtel Coturnix chinensis, or Excalfactoria chinensis The Chinese painted quail (Coturnix chinensis), also known as the button quail, king quail, chun-chi, Asian blue quail or blue-breasted quail, is in the same family as the pheasants Phasianidae of the order Galliformes, gallinaceous birds. These birds all have a distinctly larger breast-bone than other birds with more muscle surrounding the area. This is why they are hunted for their meat. This species is the smallest "true quail" and is quite common in aviculture worldwide. In the wild they range from southeastern Asia to Oceania with 10 different subspecies. This quail has been very popular to keep and breed for many, many years; numerous mutations have been developed. On the other hand, it is hard to find good bloodlines of original (wild coloured) quails as mutations may pop up in the whole captive population. In this footage you can find pretty good wild type Chinese painted quails. In aviculture, all birds should be fed a variety of seeds as well as a healthy range of fruit and vegetables. During breeding, hens should be fed calcium-rich food sources such as shell grit to prevent egg-bounding. Newly hatched chicks should be fed high protein chick crumb mixed in with a little water. Other sources of protein include mealworms and various bugs. In the wild, the diet of king quails consists of small bugs, seed and various grasses that are available at the time.
