Jumbo Coturnix Quail Colors

[Chocolate Silkie Queen]

Anyone know what colors my quail are?

#1 white with black

#2

#3

#4 LOVE this color hoping I’ll produce more!

#5
#4 and #5 are my favorite would have gotten more but there was only two. Hoping it’s a male and female but they’re not fully mature yet! Once I learn more about the colors I’m going to try to get beginning-mature on the colors!

The gold ones are Italian, the white one is pearl fee, and the little grayish one is a grau fee.

4 and 5 both appear to be male. You can post clear photos of the breast and we can help sex them.

The brown bird is a pharaoh/wild, possibly falb fee (if it is gray instead of brown, hard to tell with lighting). The second bird is a pearl (Italian fee) hen. The pharaoh and top pearl you’ll need a good Brest shot to tell, spots mean a hen, no spots are male. Your two bottom boys may be straight Italian but I wonder if they might be American pansy carriers as well, it is a gorgeous cross, sometimes called chocolate, here’s a link to a picture of a 5 week old male and some 3 week old chicks. You can cross your pretty males with your pearl hen(s) and wild hen(?) to get Italian, pearl, wild and if American pansy carriers, chocolate. If you do have an American pansy, it is recessive so you’d have to back cross a carrier bird to a carrier bird to get a homozygous pansy (black and white laced feathers with red head in males, very pretty). It’ll be fun to see what you get!
