Inbreeding leads to either death in egg or infertility and often the birds that hatch have alot of leg and eye problems. The coturnix in Alaska are beginning to show serious problems. Fertility in shipped quail eggs is a problem due to postal handlers. So far I have had 5 shipments and hatched...
Rosetta is what I would call it. It does not look very red so some may call it a Barred instead. Was it a beautiful chocolate color at hatch? The rosettas are. So yummy!.
I thought that I had a brown male. But when all the chickletts hatched they are British Range/Tuxedo. Upon second look he may be a Roux. What would the colorations be if he were a brown is that the dominant gene?
