Ready to be enchanted by the Texas Blue Scale Quail, affectionately known as the Cotton Top for its adorable fluffy white crest! This stunning bird boasts eye-catching blue-gray plumage adorned with unique scaled patterns, making it a true standout in its arid Texan habitat. Thriving in brushy areas and grasslands, these quails are not just beautiful; their gentle cooing calls and social nature make them a delightful addition to any collection. One of my absolute favorites, they are calm and inquisitive, always eager to greet visitors and showcase their charming personalities! Plus, they lay lovely cream-colored lightly speckled eggs that hatch in just 23-24 days, with lively hardy chicks that are a breeze to raise!
