Please talk about hatches elsewhere....this thread is strictly for color plumages of the Japanese Coturnix.

This thread is on genetic mutation on color. What would you call these quail? Because coturnix can be any quail (harlequin, Japanese, barred...etc)

That's why you don't trust wikepedia lol color mutations don't come from one place lol

Usually 2 weeks after a mating, BUT I have several pairs and trios and haven't had problems.

Quote: by hatching out a ton of chicks I agree with this article a lot as many people "think" they create a mutation when it has been already created...makes it difficult in naming the variety. This is the most correct article there is right now.

I got mine through some one else. You were gonna trade with with me!

I am still deciphering it, that's my new project. I have it on a separate file from last week and I can pm it to you.

Yes, there is a way I can add pictures but it will take some time.

ok, ok

British Range is the result of the presence of extended brown, the wild-type (which is the pharaoh variety), and red head genes to be exact That is why there are more shades in the plumage

The British Range contains the color gene "extended brown." It isn't the name of the variety, just the gene that determined it which is E Does that make sense? I am trying to keep it simple Edited to add: Your photo is an excellent example of the Dark British Range Variety Beautiful photograph

Quote: I will add more, yes indeed I have so much I can type at one time

Maybe the bird thought she was in for experimentation and freaked? I bet you will get another one

Here are some mutations for Genetics folks........ EXTENDED BROWN, E Inherit: Autosomal Incomplete dominant Linkage: Unknown Characteristic: "this mutant color gene extends the distribution of black and dark brown pigment throughout the plumage. Both sexes appear the same" Reference: Journal of...
