D’anver Quail Pattern Inheritance?

[FayoumisFreak]

I am raising Belgian Bearded D’anvers and am unsure if the quail coloration is autosomal dominant or recessive, or sex linked. Can anybody help me out!? Thanks in advance!

I believe it is autosomal recessive.

I would love it if it is! Trying to decide on a rooster to keep and if it is recessive it would make my decision a ton easier.

I believe it is autosomal recessive.

Not entirely, the pattern quail is a combination of Columbian(incomplete dominant autosomal) and eumelanin enhancer/s(recessive and dominant depending on the breed), in this specific breed the genetic make up is eb/eb, Co/Co and cha/cha(autosomal recessive charcoal, very similar to Melanotic)

For OEG they are based on e+/e+, Co/Co, and recessive black
For the Lakenvelder they are eb/eb, Co/Co and Ml/Ml

Here are a couple good d'Uccle pages that may be relevant learning as you proceed in your breeding program.

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, I’m a chicken genetics noobie

So in this breed, quail is a combination of 3 diffferent genes? What would happen if say I cross a quail with a solid black?

You'd get black birds with some leakage

Use those codes to plug into this and you can play around with it some

Thank you so much! Time to learn some more!

Another question: So if the columbian trait is incompletely dominant, how does it affect the bird if only one columbian allele is present? Leakage through the neck feathers?
