How to get....

[Whitehouse Quail]

Silver
Cinnamon
Red Tibetan

Coturnix quail? Is there a breeding combination to get them? Or do you have to get a mutant and breed them together?

Thanks!

Cinnamon is a dominant color, so you need at least 1 cinnamon bird to get those. Red tibetan, I'm not really sure. I'm assuming it is recessive, since I have yet to hatch any red tibetans from my 1 hen, though I've had other people tell me that they did, so maybe I have and just didn't recognize them?

Silver is a recessive color, so you might get lucky that some of your browns are carriers and get it that way, otherwise you'd need a silver bird to cross to regular brown, then cross the offspring back to the silver bird (or to each other).

There is no Red Tibetan. There is a Tibetan...Now there is a lighter British Range that is redder in color. You can breed a Tibetan (which is really a Dark range) and an English and you can get the redder colors. Other than that there really is no other way, other than purchasing the color alone.

Rosetta is rosetta; red tibetan is red tibetan. They are very different looking colors, and they are not british range as stated by the other poster. I don't know all the 'range' names, but I do know there are at least 4 different tibetan colors: dark tibetan, rosetta tibetan, british range tibetan, and red tibetan....there are probably more than that, these are the ones I know of.
To the quailladyoffortmyers: I don't know if by english you mean english white, but if you breed an english white to a tibetan of any color, you will get tuxedos, not a lighter color of the original.

This is a red tibetan (non-tuxedo in front, tuxedo in back, both red):

These are dark tibetan:

Dark tibetan tuxedo in front, red tibetan tuxedo behind, dark tibetan non-tuxedo in the very back, red tibetan non-tuxedo on far right:

Another comparison between dark and red tibetan:

More dark tibetans:
