Can anyone tell me what offspring would come out of a
dart Vader cock and white hen ?
Dark Vader cock and tuxedo hen ?
And does anyone know what sort the speckled hen is in the photo ?
Thanks

Bloody hell!

Didn't realise there were so many mutations of the humble King Quail. Interesting.

Learn something new every day here!

Mother and I have been selectively breeding our Cinnamons for "red" and "dilute" for some years now. And periodically nabbing any suitable outcrosses to increase the colour differences.

The hen in the picture is a red breasted hen. Its impossible to give you the outcome of the crosses you ask about as you cant predict the genotype. Good chance if you have red breasr, golden pearl, tuxedo and white that they will carry each others genes as these new colours all appeared simultaneously
