➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

from my basic understanding of the genetics is that the colors have varying percentages of hatching true. so hidden color genes can show up in a certain percentage.
**now my own personal theory for possibility is that the large number of eggs being shipped and all eggs looking basically alike increases the risk of something getting mixed up.

You all are the color experts! Me don’t know!

Muddy, you are totally correct, BUT out of all the patterns Tibetans are like the ONE that should breed mostly true if both the parents were E/E Tibetans! Methinks you got a mutt mix.

I’m very confused. Tibetan are just a pattern, not a color to my understanding.

Tibetan/dark range is a color, that super dark most black mahagony red they have two copied of extended red.

Red range/British are lighter and have one copy. I have seen 'laced' looking and solid looking. I call the formers rosetta and the latters red range, although this varies breeder to breeder.
Edit: varies not carries

I think I have two dark, two laced and a tuxedo.
Then there are two or three of what I think are being called dirty pearl, then the Pharoah.
You guys often lose me, and even breeders show variations. I have quail. That I know.

Is this list only for Kiki Quail babies or any quailies hatched?

No...it's for all of us.
Kiki's quail egg factory is temporarily closed.

Then I need to be added! I need to get a final count tomorrow when I’m one them out to the brooder. It is 21 or 22.

With a date too please.

I’m thinking I got the variety order where they put just whatever extras they have at the time. But who knows. What are the all yellow ones and the yellow with stripes going down the back?

They grow so fast! Tomorrow will be a week and they will go out to the brooder. Introducing their trough feeder today. NExt week I will start them on the nipple watered.

I will try to start putting together chick vs juvenile/adult pics for you guys and @CoturnixComplex color/genetics thread. But in general yellow down turns to white or golden feathers. orangy/lt. brown stripes or patterns turn red, dark turns black to brown, and gray turns silver to charcoal

Yeah the yellow baby fluff can either turn white or yellow/golden and it's hard to tell as chicks unless you have both in one batch to compare.

They're either English whites or goldens, or much less typically pearl-fee or snowie (just rarer to find in mixed batches).
