Blonde chick genetics

[luckydux]

Sorry, no blonde jokes here I raise brown coturnix and had a batch hatch yesterday with one blonde colored. Its completely blonde and looks nothing like the breeders. Just curious if someone would possibly know the genetic explanation??

Here is an old thread about the color varieties of the Coturnix quail.

Wowzers!! Thanks
I'm guessing its a possible manchurian with the yellow gene??

I'll have to take some pics and make some notes for future reference because this is interesting
