Button Quail mutations

I want to start a website about button quail mutations.

Can anyone give me a list of most (all?) mutations

Once I get the list I will be asking anyone to donate pictures of the different mutations (colors)

You'll wanna compile and learn a lot of info first before you put together a website as it's sooo easy to give the wrong information. I reccomend gathering all the info you can from past posts, esp ones that BQH made, as well as checking out www.zebrafinch.com

You gotta lot a learnin to do! LOL!

Not good pics but I would guess red breasted (or pearl) and the others are silver based. Looks like mostly slates. The lighting makes a difference when telling the silvers apart.

Basic genes would be
Recessives-
silver
white
cinnamon
red breasted
splash
I believe pink eyed is recessive

dominants-
normal wild/blue breasted
blue face
pearl

These combine to make most of the colors out there. Ivory is cinnamon plus silver. Slate is blue face plus silver. Zebrafinch has some of the combinations and possible names for them listed.

There's a lot of making up new terms for colors because people don't know what that color actually is or what combination of genes causes it. So they call their buttons what they want and sell them that way.

Yup, the black ones that you have were all wild type, the brownish ones were red breasted, the rest, I believe BQH said were slates and silvers.

Black is blue face
Orange strips are wild type

The link that everyone is giving to you is great. There is a chick Id chart on that site that I use to help id mine then I check with BQH to make sure I got it right.

Yes, his black ones had orange stripes. You can't see it in pictures, but believe me, I was up close and personal with them, inspecting them thoroughly while they were here, trying to learn about the colors, lol. The tiny runt I originally thought was a blue face, but he even had the orange stripes once he grew out a little bit.
Having been to the breeder's place again (lol), I took a better look at his birds. It looks like most of his are silvers or slates, they're all darker than my ivory gal, and none of them have the bib. He only has three white birds, but he thinks that one of them is a male. It also looked like he had a cinnamon hen, but I can't be sure on that.

If I remember this right slate males do not get bibs silver do would have to check BQH for sure. Cinnamon is my favorite I think my 1 cinnamon baby is a girl. If so I will breed her with my cinnamon male
