Yes, definitely progressive pied with that much change. I'd also say it's likely fawn-enhanced, maybe het. Sparkly but it's hard to be sure. Your number 4 is definetely an Italian :)
Thanks Amer! Yes, you can "breed" a quicken (quail / chicken hybrid). However, this is not a natural occurrence. You need to artificially inseminate the chicken or gene splice it. The gene splicing is more common and successful. It's pretty hard to do just AI'ing the chicken, and the success...
I would think Sparkly Italian, but it doesn't quite look right. It could just be that she hasn't finished her adult molt yet, or it could be a different pattern. The black barring on the back is pretty wide for just Sparkly.
Definitely Italian based with an E-locus enhancement though, I almost...

I'm the same way! It's so hard to figure it out from the description alone. Photos helped me sooo much. I've been working with a few different genetics professors on it and come a long way!
Just some neat pigeons at a recent poultry show! I am still learning quite a bit about pigeons in general, they are drastically different from chickens and quail. Still so cool.

I'm working on adding all of the genes here, for both feathers and other things like comb types, the extra toe, etc. I find that pictures help so much, so I've slowly but surely been adding more to it as it grows.
