Distinctive Genetics & Breeding Value

The Egyptian phenotype is particularly appealing to specialist breeders interested in colour genetics and selective breeding. Recessive colour mutations require offspring to inherit the relevant allele from both parents for the trait to be expressed, although the precise inheritance of Egyptian colouration depends on the breeding line.

Their distinctive appearance, combined with carefully selected Jumbo characteristics, makes them a valuable addition to any specialist Coturnix collection.
