Coturnix Quail

Jumbo German Pansy (Rotkopf)

Large-bodied Coturnix quail with striking gold, rust, white, and black Pansy-patterned plumage.

Jumbo German Pansy Coturnix are a large-bodied color variety known for bold, high-contrast plumage combining gold, rust, red-brown, white, and heavy black barring or blotching. Males show especially striking brown to reddish head and facial plumage, which adds to the distinctive “pansy” appearance. Individual birds can vary considerably in pattern and color intensity, so no two are necessarily marked exactly alike. German Pansy birds are valued for their dramatic appearance while still offering the fast growth and productive qualities of Coturnix quail.

Egg characteristics

Cream to light tan eggs with brown speckling or mottling. Egg size varies by hen and line; jumbo Pansy lines are often selected for larger eggs.

Temperament

Generally active but manageable Coturnix. Breeder lines are often selected for calm temperament, though individual birds vary.

Sexing

Usually feather-sexable as they mature. Males often develop stronger red or rust coloration on the head, face, and neck area, while females tend to show lighter facial coloration and different overall patterning.

Care notes

Provide a quality game-bird or quail ration appropriate for age, constant clean water, dry well-ventilated housing, and enough space to reduce stress and aggression. Coturnix can startle vertically, so housing should be designed to reduce head injuries from sudden upward flight.
