I hatched this quail last January out of Coturnix parents. She may possibly be half Pharaoh but probably not. I was surprised that she did not look like a coturnix. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

She is a coturnix (Japanese) quail and she definitely has a Pharaoh base… it looks like she could have Pansy, possibly Sparkly mixed in there. Both genes are assumed pattern modifiers and the Pansy genes seem to be able to hide for generations before seemingly popping up “out of nowhere”. I will try to find a picture of my Pansy crosses and my single copy Sparkly Pharaoh.
