What do I breed Red Golden Coturnix to?

[chickenlover54]

I hatched 2 Red Golden Coturnix, they are 5 weeks old now, if they are both males or females what color should I breed them to to get more? Is it a dominent color?

It's an incomplete dominant. If you breed a Red Golden to a Texas A and M or English white you get a Red Tux

So you would need two of the Red Goldens to produce more Red Goldens

Would it work like lavender does in chickens? If you breed a male red-golden to something else (ex. rosetta), would the chicks be 'split' for red golden? So breeding them back to the parent bird would result in (theoretically) 50/50 red golden and rosetta?

That is possible, Splits can occur

If i want splits should I breed them to Tibetans, rosettas or Browns?

 

[Stellar]

Any British Range (Tibetan or Rosetta) would work.

YAY, I guessed right, I am learning this. Ever so slowly.

I think I have a pair, I tried vent sexing them, are they old enough to be vent sexed accuratley?

I would wait a couple weeks before vent sexing, unless you can clearly see a difference
