I have jumbo brown and T A&M coturnix quail that I hatched , I am pretty sure this odd ball one came from a jumbo egg but not 100% anyone know what color it is? its the one in the middle looks kinda silvery to me.

It looks like a Ginger or Manchurian mutation. Manchurian/Italian Speckled is a light mutation of brown. When it grows up it should look like a fawn colored Coturnix with black spots. Ginger looks identical to the Manchurian, only the black spots are diluted to be more of a brown shade.
 
yep looks exactly like my golden (also from sams stock).

Wow monarc thats one is awsome, do you sell eggs from that color? Id be sure interested. I hope mine turns out like that one of yours.
 
That's what Jumbo Golden's look like? (I have ~ 65 in my incubator right now) Are the males/females easy to tell apart? At what age?
