What colour Coturnix is this?

[hedgemoo]

This is my quiet hen, Lavender. I've been confused about which color she is. I'm new to quail and still getting to grips so sorry if it's obvious.

She's a sort of washed out light brown/grey all over.

(I know she looks scalped! Im sorting out another hutch for the roo, to give my two girls a rest)

I’m pretty sure I should know this, but I don’t. @Nabiki

I wondered if she was a combination of rosetta and something else?

She looks like a mixed breed. Coturnix Quails are grayish white or white. Some may have a couple brown feathers.

Coturnix quail come in countless colors. Not just grayish white or white. Most are brown

Looks like cinnamon would be my guess. Lovely quail. But with all the colors out there, you can get interesting crosses with silvers and pastels, etc, so it could be an interesting mix of color lines.

Oo thanks, hadn't thought of Cinnamon.

Got her eggs hatching this week so that might shed some light.

Only one out of four eggs hatched, incubator too cold i think. Anyway, the lovely chick looks golden. Im even more confused now.
