I'm closing FaceSpace. I keep thinking "I can just stuff the eggs in my incubator and manually turn them! It's only 2.5 times the number of eggs it's designed to hold!"

1. This redhead (pansy lookalike) thing is probably male.

2. The other one I was talking was the red-eyed scarlet-looking tuxedo thing you showed us the other day. I thought I remembered you saying it was a girl but maybe I made that up. That one might be a cinnamon or a sex-linked cinnamon.

Ok I have 3 orangy things.

See I think he's checking the boxes for a redhead much more than a manchurian. Manchurian plumage is relatively consistent with the pale yellow background, black "ticking" on the back, and at least a hint of the cheek stripes still visible.

He could be an autumn amber (roux + golden-type like manchurian) but I really doubt it. If you look carefully at the patterning on the back his is much more scalloped-looking like pansy or redhead types vs, again, the "ticking" that regular goldens (even diluted ones) seem to retain.

Oops forgot to put in my links to pics one sec

Manchurian golden

Autumn Amber

Oh darnit that picture I linked before of a redhead is a button quail (there are a LOT of homologous mutations between diff species of quail and chickens, is kind of fun/confusing) Sorry, I wasn't paying close enough attention. He looked like a baby cot roo. Let me find a better one if I can. I'm pretty sure I've only actually heard the color described in cots in one of the studies I read. But I'd be really surprised if the expression wasn't similar.
