What Is The Difference Between Rutin Chicken And Quail

What is the difference between rutin chicken and quail

Rutin chickens are small in size. Males have very brightly colored feathers, chestnut-purple plumage from the waist to the under tail coverts, a blue chest, and a large black spot in the center of the throat.
Most female birds have brown feather color with conspicuous spear-like stripes and straw yellow color.

Quail feathers are dull in color with conspicuous straw-yellow spear-like stripes and irregular markings. The beak is thick and short, the apex of the upper beak is slightly curved downward, feathers do not cover the nostrils, and the body is rounded and rolled. The wings are short and round, the tail is unequal, and the tail feathers are flattened. And the tarsus is bare (or covered with feathers), and the hind limbs are positioned higher than the other toes.
Male bird throat midline is upward curved to both sides of the ear feathers, tightly attached to the yellow skin collar. In contrast, the skin's yellow eyebrow pattern and brown head. And through eye pattern become obvious contrast (female birds also have similar designs, but the difference is not apparent).

The rutin Chicken can be raised at home. The main points of breeding are as follows.

Rutin chicken breeding feed formula: corn 49.5%, soybean meal 22%, fish meal 10%, bran 3.5%, grass (leaf) meal 4.2%, bone meal 2%, stone meal or shell meal 3.8%, rutin chicken special premix 5%.
It can also use peanut cake, sorghum, grains, or broken rice instead of some of the ingredients in the above formula.
Since rutin hens consume a lot of calcium and phosphorus for egg production, the diet needs to be supplemented with calcium and phosphorus.

The suitable temperature for egg-laying is 20-22℃ (the ideal temperature is 27.5℃).
In summer, strengthening ventilation and reducing breeding density can effectively lower the ambient temperature.
In winter, increase the breeding density while using heat preservation lamps to maintain the ambient temperature to avoid the ambient temperature being too low.

During the egg-laying period, it should keep the length of light above 12 hours per day. Therefore, placing the rutin chickens near the window during the home breeding process is more appropriate.
In winter, the light hours are shorter and need to be increased artificially (2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening).

Clean up the feces and wash the trough in time to ensure a dry and hygienic feeding environment.
Change the bedding regularly to avoid too dirty feeding environment.
