Yeah yeah mine eat from my hand as well since they were youngens...
Try sleeping outside one night and you will see what goes on. I did it (doghouse) and a lower number of pairs per aviary exist now and has hopefully acheived Launch control.

Spanna, if Mackstaa does not want that hen can I please have her? As I have a cinnamon cock that was bred from Silver x Cinnamon. And who only has "oddball" the hermaphrodite for company.

I was already going to offer her to you when it came time to get rid of all my king quail
When you're next down let me know and we can arrange a time for you to come and pick up her plus as many others as you want. She has an unrelated split cinnamon cockbird partner (from flap) who is by far the best king quail father I have ever had. I'm not going to let them breed again, but she's been sitting on 2 dud eggs for a couple of months now so I haven't had to intervene clever lass she is...

That is incorrect,they are seperate mutations but the same colour. Fawn is a ressive mutation whilst cinnamin is sex linked ressive mutation and the latter have red eyes in the young in the nest and some retain the red eyes as adults in some birds.

The original Cinnamon King Quail mutation was sex-linked.

True. 2 different mutations that at least to most peoples eyes are the same. But if we look closely, who knows maybe a slight shade difference? And the original Cinnamon/fawns I had were definately not sex linked. Maybe different types turned up on different sides of the country in different orders??

Hi All, It's been a long time but I have some updates.
The mutation is recessive as I gave a recessive brown male and normal female to a friend and they produced 3 normal/brown female and a silver/brown male. Both parents turned out to be split silver.
I have the 3 female and I gave him the SilverBrown female from one of the first photos I post to pair with the young silver.

The mutation you are talking about sound like the Fallow mutation and I still stand by my statment that Fawn and Cinnamon are two names for the one colour.crocnshas wrote:That is incorrect,they are seperate mutations but the same colour.

Spanna that very redish cinnamon/fawn hen and the cinnamon cock I put her with hatched 5 chicks a couple of days ago. 4 doing fine. All look cinnamon, will see if they have mums red when they colour.
