If you want a certain date for delivery please let me know and I will do my very best to accommodate this :)
All my orders are pre order listing this means it could take anywhere between a couple of days to a few weeks depending how many orders I have at that time. If you message me I can give you a rough estimate.
This Is still a working progress and some still have a tinge of brown but still absolutely beautiful
Progressive pied is very rare in the uk.
The chick starts out black at birth and over time they slowly get more and more white feathers ❤️
Progressive pied coturnix quail Genetics
The progressive pied gene in Coturnix (Japanese) quail is a colour mutation that causes white feathers to gradually increase with each moult. Unlike many pied patterns that are fixed at hatch, birds carrying the progressive pied mutation often become increasingly white as they age.
Key characteristics include:
Chicks hatch with only small white patches or minimal signs of the mutation.
After each moult, additional feathers may grow in white.
Older birds can become extensively white while still retaining patches of their original colour.
Inheritance
Pp (heterozygous): Usually shows moderate progressive white patterning.
PP (homozygous): Often displays much more extensive white, sometimes nearly all white.
