has anyone (other than you Michael!) got this mutation? See how the male on the left (yep,definitely a male - vent sexed and all) has speckles all the way down his chest? I put a normal pharoah next to him for comparison. The speckles are actually even a bit different to those of a female because they are tri coloured - fawn/red/dark as opposed to dark on fawn. Nice isn't he? Got the egg he hatched out of from another breeder in NZ and have been pleasantly surprised. I have another mutation I will post a pic of some time, we call them "pale quail", seem to be common in NZ, they are like a gold but without any dark speckles just some shading of light and darker fawn. The pale quail only seems to appear in males so I am guessing it has some weird sex-linked inheritance (maybe needs 2 alleles to express).
