I haven't got the foggiest tbh I've never seen the like, cinnamon tend to be a deeper colour which means he must be carrying the dilute gene. Although I've never known a cinnamon to have silver base feathers either. I cannot wait til he's got his adult plume, he's going to be stunning

I'm sure he will be. Im kinda hoping I can get a cinnamon colored chick by breeding a wild type and a silver quail together.

This is a pretty cool guide to follow. Cinnamon is a recessive gene so both parent birds must carry it to give u a cinnamon chick. It doesn't matter the colour of the parent as ling as they carry that gene. The bottom two groups are the possible colouring available when u mix up the top group. For example ... the bottom left corner is a silver redbreasted. RRSS so ud need the RR (redbreasted) gene and the SS (silver gene) to get that type of silver bird (Max the dad of the chicks is a Silver redbreasted)
Hope this helps you like it helped me. Ur best bet to get cinnamon birds is with a cinnamon pair xx

Hmm that is interesting. I thought I had to mix 2 certain colors to get a cinnamon chick but I guess not. Is there a way to tell which genes my birds are carrying?

Not unless u buy eggs from someone who's selling cinnamon eggs. Now that doesn't mean those chick will be cinnamon just tht they will carry that gene. I know some people have specific colouring breeding groups, that's what u want to look for if u want to ensure ur birds have cinnamon genes. Unless uve managed to hatch out a cinnamon from ur current flock? If u have then there's a good chance they carry that gene xx

Well one of my males is a cinnamon tuxedo so if any were carrying a cinnamon gene it would probably be him.

Yes he will be but u need both parents to carry that gene to produce it xx

But if I bred him to my wild color female for example, what color would the chicks be? I feel like some would be pure wild type and some might be mixed color

For example my redbreasted girls come from my silver. So put with a silver redbreasted male they would very likely throw out silver redbreasteds because both the parents carry the recessive silver gene and the recessive redbreasted gene. If a gene is dominant like the bluefaced, and u put that bird with a recessive like a silver or cinnamon then u would be more likely to only get bluefaced birds. Does tht make sense?? Xx

Cinnamon and tuxedo genes are both recessive whereas the traditional colouring is dominant sooooo ud get traditional chicks, with maybe an odd tux thrown in there or if ur lucky a cinnamon chick could be possible as a throwback but the odds aren't in ur favor xx
