Sadly the first one pictured died today unsure why...all I know is its "ankle" was slighty swollen and it acted uncomfortable and died... I had just reciently put them outside so it could have just been stressed and died but I don't know for sure. It was a color I have two others of though so I'm fine with it

^^ If you notice the ones I call "red tibes" have the same red coloring (in lacing) as the true reds do.

Once I know if the reds are males or females, I plan to put a red roo in with a few red tibetans to see what that result produces. If the red tuxedo is a hen she will go in there as well. If it's a roo it will go in a pen with nothing but A & M hens to get perferably nicer tuxedos

And the red golden will go in with a golden roo (as it is a hen).

it's white throat if it didn't have that it would just be a normal red

Believe me, if you breed that bird to an A & M or even just a tibetan you can produce tuxedos (i've done it a few times) as the bird carries A & M to have white

I produced tuxedos by breeding a tibe (with white throat) to a brown that carried A & M
 
All right. Where do I send the paypal for one of these lovely birds?!

If you hadn't put together such a wonderfully informative post, I would still be in the land of the quail-ignorant.
