Dont think Red Fawn seems like it has the Red Isabel look to it. I think you are going to have to wait until it moults.

I know it's a completely unrelated bird, but I have a king quail hen with similar colouration, which I believe to be both silver and cinnamon. This resulted in the base of the feathers being silver, and the tips cinnamon. Was noticeably different from it's siblings from hatching, and developed more as it coloured up. Might be worth considering that it could be a combination of 2 mutations, with different modes of inheritance, being displayed simultaneously...

I think this time round I will keep her to breed but once I get numbers up a bit I'd definately sell them.

Instinct I suppose. Doesn't really matter does it?? I'll be keeping he/she to breed either way.
