āž” Quail Hatch Along🄚

Quail getting into position to break out of the egg
Can someone explain to me how you get tuxedo so I can better understand how to get rid of it
Is it a recessive gene is it some thing that is one gene to express tuxedo and two to be white or what I want it off of my special hens babies and I don’t know how to do it one of the babies is from my special hen
 
maybe someone else can give more or better info, but my basic understanding of genetics is that tuxedo originates in mixing a color x white. should follow basic punnett square genetics from point of origin. in order to get rid of it, you would have to ā€œbreed it outā€ by generations of selective breeding. the alternative would be to start with breeding stock of pure color and cull out any showing hidden tux gene.

I only have the one hen with the coloring I want to breed for I just hatched one of her eggs so now I have another just like her I hope its a male then I can breed the two together

Get rid of white birds.
Get rid of all tuxedos.

My average was usually 8 with the most one rabbit had was 13
 
But how does that help me breed tuxedo out of my one bird

I don't think I am understanding.
It's going to take MULTIPLE breedings to get rid of it.

You can't breed it just one time.
