Coturnix Quail Color Questions

[MarionIN4Chickens]

Hey all! I am setting up my coveys currently and I am wondering what color variety in offspring I can expect from this particular covey

I have an Autumn Amber Roo
And with him I have 7 females. 2 Italian, 2 Autumn Amber, 2 Falb fee pharaohs and one pharaoh with a roux dilute.

Am I correct in assuming most chicks will be either Italians or pharaohs?

I have learned unless you have breeding pens with each color separated by color you won’t know what you might hatch until you hatch basically a random color generator

You’ll get a mix of pharoah, Italian, manchurian (homozygous Italian), Egyptian (pharoah roux), autumn amber (Italian roux), pearl (Italian fee), falb fee (pharoah fee), and possible fee/roux combos (Egyptian fee, etc). You can figure out percentages by pairing each bird combo. Fee, roux, and Italian/pharoah are all different genes so can all be expressed in the same bird. Roux is sex link recessive, you need two copies in a male but only one in a female.
