Coturnix Quail Chicks..all colorations(pics)

[Bigdtc]

I had an interesting chick hatch yesterday.. It is yellow with brown stripes on it's head and back. The stripes are distinctive and run "front to back".. Anyone want to take a stab at what it's adult color might be?
The parents were a Manchurian male and Italian female..

I bought some coturnix chicks last week and I'm not sure as to what their actual colors are called, especially the white one with the black spotted head. Can anybody help me as to what these colorations are called? Thanks

No I posted a picture of the chicks...does it not show up on your computer? they don't look like most coturnix I've seen

What kind of Coturnix quail is this[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]?? I hatched it in an incubator, its about 2 or 3 days old, a family friend gave me a couple of the pharoah eggs and this is what hatched out of them.[/FONT]

that is a tuxedo. looks like a Tibetan Tuxedo. it will turn out like this



probably a LITTLE different placement on the white, but basically the same.

its easy to tell tux's by looking at the leg, you can see on that one there that there is black pigment with the regular pink pigment in the legs. so that bird carries almost 50/50 dark range and white.

ok starting with the white one with black spots and going clockwise

white with recessive tibetian
red range
tibetian
red range
white
white
red
red
red


the white with the black spots would be good for making tux's, mate it with a tibetian and you can make a tux(or have a better chance at good coloration.)

well i don't think you have much to question there then. manchurian male to italian female...guess what your gonna get?

a golden, it could look like either one of the birds, but it will be gold thats for sure.

Thanks so much Where do you get that information? I've been looking everywhere for more info on coturnix colors and genetics and can't seem to find any. My other whites now have black spots on them as well though not as much.
