Allegedly silvers haven't made it to the states yet, but no one has searched my trunk yet

What is a "Red Headed Golden Coturnix"?

I may have one or two of them....Just curious

dont make fun of me lol but why arent they in the U.S. yet?

Because no one has figured out a way to get them past the iron clad northern border of the US, to the porous southern US border, then been willing to pay the shipping charges.

I'm not suggesting that anyone does anything....I'm just saying!....Just musing

On a side note: I don't generally make fun of people. I "poke fun" but I generally find that there is a very large portion of people on the net...I mean this board, that has no sense of humor.

Hey Anna, with my Italian roo crossed with my Silver Pied hen I get bleus and a weird bleu italian. Did you get yours from Perry?

 

[leahthor]

Oh and when I say my bleus that is what you are calling your wildtype silvers. A very knowledgeable guru on this forum told me that.

On the british quail board a fellow told me there is no such thing as blues in coturnix and there is only types of silvers.

Yes, they are from Perry, I got 1 from Perry many years ago when he just had the colour pop up and then lost my only bird of the colour and he had the big mink whipe-out himself. Took me what.... 2 yrs to get more from him. So thrilled to have them now again tho.

With a wild type hen crossed with a redhead produces both wild types and redheads just wasn't sure what the dilution gene would do to the redhead. Now the Silver Range and Silver Tux X Redhead I have no clue what that will yield. Can't remember even crossing a regular range or tux with a redhead........... thats the equation i cannot figure the outcome of.

Have you tried the Japanese Quail Calculator just for giggles? I don't think its complete yet but you can give it a go anyways. Now, the coturnix people really need to have a definitive book on colours, there are just too many names for the same colours. Its just too confusing for the new person to get a handle on!

especially, internationally... imho, this is what "I" have gleaned/guessed over the past 6 months, somebody slap me into reality or feel free to clean it up, I was just thinking this on the drive home from Orland this afternoon.

domesticated coturnix coturnix and/or coturnix japonica crosses I read that post. now, for the initial conversation with someone I call them "coturnix".

americans call certain quail colors certain things in the last ~150 years,
europeans call different colors and variations different things in the last ? 300 years.
asians call certain colors certain things for the last 1000+ years?
africans, egyptians? 5000 years?

then throw in the recent 50 years Jumbo XLD1 browns, texas AMs, jumbo whites and all those crosses...

imho.
