Does anyone know this button quail's genetics???

Lovely! I was hoping for something like that with this baby that hatched Friday since its mom is a wild normal blue and the dad is a red breasted with white leaking in like I showed, but this lil one popped out, cant be pure white too dirty a blonde I think

Your chick looks like it might be a silver??

Whichever parent doesn't have the white gene might have a silver one.

It's also a beautiful chick BTW. I've always wanted a silver chick. My silver father still hasn't produced any with his gene.

Maybe its recessive like white, these pics and info can be found on bracken ridge ranch,

Yes silvers are recessive but all my other recessive genes pop up so often! I suppose that one is just super recessive or something

The double factor blue-faced = tuxedo stuff is wrong / outdated. They used to call what we normally call pied tuxedos. I think. I could be wrong tho

I've been doing research and I thing tuxedos (i.e. bottom half white, upper half dark colored are actually White genetically, with extra colors, like splash buttons.

I also could be wrong on this point. It seems like every body thinks differently. It is rather annoying
