Coturnix quail

[MobyJones]

I'm curious, is there any demand for Coturnix quail feathers in the fly tying world? And if so, are any of the colour variants such as white, tuxedo, english game or italian more popular than others?

Thanks in advance.

They do have very nice feathers and would be the type that I would try. I have not seen them commercially available in the states, but I have seen a few people use them in patterns.

I have a quail skin and the feathers are excellent for wet flies.

Christina at Chevron hackles does the complete skins & they're very nice quality.
