I have been hatching out a few generations of silver coturnix. I like this colour variety because they are easy to tell male from female early on. The males seem to all be lighter than the females. I recently hatched a batch of 3 silver and I forgot to make note of the father (because I recently switched out roosters for genetic diversity). I don’t know if this is a batch from the Pharoah dad or the Italian dad but I ended up with one baby with interesting coloration. He/she is light silver (like a male) with dark silver patches. The wings are especially striking light with dark tips.
I have a couple of questions for those with more experience than me: what colour morph is this? Can you tell if this is a male or female?
