I know quail have crazy amounts of color combinations and I've seen papers about curly feathers and so on in quail, but I definitely don't see the same sort of variation as we have in chickens. I got it into my head after seeing bearded/muffed chickens to see if we could breed for fluffier cheeks in quail - though after doing a little research I'm not so sure it's possible - and I wanted to see if anyone has/is working on any unusual projects!
I know quail are wilder and thus most of the focus has been on meat, eggs, and color, but hope springs eternal that one day I can have a silkie-like quail...
