Japanese Coturnix Quail Color Varieties!!!!

[syble]

There is a companion thread ultimate color guide or something, minds fuzzing over. As for silver, it wont just pop up, its dominant lethal, so a bird that has the gene expresses it. You would need a silver, cream blue or charcoal to get it.

You can cross your white with other colors to get tuxes at best....

Where do you get charcoal coturnix from? I have never seen any!

Hello everyone!
I'd like to know if anyone can help me identifying this color variety of japanese quail.
They are two females, one is wild type and the other has the blue gene as in for chickens which alters it's color making her appear blonde. She only has blue instead of black where black is supposed to be, the brown and reddish color is intact.
Some pics below:






Thanks!

Italians are my favorite because you have a lot of control over their color patterns. For the last couple years I was working really hard on some colors, but when the raccoon got me I lost a lot of my important breeders. If you cross that with a pharaoh, the next generation will have more spots. If you cross it with a manchurian it'll have less.

Here are some examples of the differences you can create in Italian roosters.



Italian with all red secondary coloration, no black spots



White ribbed back feathers, with red/fawn secondary coloration and white bib (rooster is 2nd from the back)



No true secondary coloration below the neck.

And another one of the red/fawn/white secondary, white bib rooster. (He was my favorite I've ever hatched. The raccoon ate his head

)
