➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[muddy75]

I set 17 button eggs yesterday. The roommate wants to take buttons with her when she moves next month.

Did you join the HAL????

Did you join the HAL????

I didn't. These are due to hatch on the 28th.

Still counts!!!!

I finally got some decent pictures of my QuailCon chicks. They are about 3 weeks old now, I’m going to put a few in a separate post because I need a little help figuring out colors

Scarlet Fee

Rosetta Tuxedo

Male? Italian/Gold Manchurian-I love this one’s color; I’m super excited to use him for breeding

My only Panda

 

[HipMystic]

Here are the ones I’m not sure about:

I love the colors on this one, but he looks like a Tuxedo/Pharaoh? I only got Rosetta Tux eggs

On the right is a Scarlet Fee, not sure if maybe the right is male and the left is a female? She’s covered in stripes while he’s solid brown.

A closer view

This girl is patterned like a Pharaoh but is lighter colored with almost a gray tint

Here’s a regular Pharaoh from the same hatch to compare to the previous pic. Also, how did I get Pharaohs? I have 4 normal pharaoh colored hens, the eggs I bought were Rosetta Tux, SSC, Tibetan, Scarlet Fee, Italian, Pearl, and Panda.
I don’t know much about the genetics yet
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Rosetta is a cross between range pattern Tibetan and wild pattern pharaoh. Since range is incompletely dominant, it results in a variety of patterns, some favoring wild with more barring and pencilling, and some favoring range with more smooth tones. The one that’s reddish with wild pattern is probably egyptian or egyptian fee, the lighting makes it a bit difficult to tell. Your SSCs may have a bunch of other genes like roux and fee, and you can get quite a variety with them. Your scarlets work the same way as Rosetta. Some people differentiate between red range and scarlet, red range being more the Tibetan roux version and scarlet being the more Rosetta roux version. Male rosettas can carry roux, which will brighten their red tones, and if they favor wild pattern, you may notice a brighter red chest. The lines and barring have no link to the gender, just indicate how strong the wild pattern is under the range.

Wow! I had no idea how many different color genes were involved!

Your lighter color wild is an Egyptian.

I culled Cyrano last night…..poor little dude was just too overgrown beak for trimming to be beneficial. I also had an accident and hung one of my grau fee girls in the turkeys gate so I had to process her

Might this one still be chocolate manchurian? Is that golden manchurian plus rosetta? I can't find the genetics for it.

Italian and pearl fee?
