Size, Shape and Color Pattern as Criteria for Identifying Coturnix Eggs
TLDR
The usefulness of Japanese quail in avian genetic and physiological studies has been demonstrated and single male mating pens consisting of several females should be used to obtain useful records from genetic studies.About:

TL;DR: No correlated responses were noted for body weight at either 4 or 8 weeks of age, whereas the relationships of the selected trait with size of the cloacal gland and relative aggressiveness were positive.

Studies of the Relationship Between Fear-Related Responses and Production Traits in Japanese Quail (Cotumix coturnix japonica) Bidirectionally Selected for Dustbathing Activity
TL;DR: It is suggested that selection for dustbathing activity had resulted in correlated changes in the susceptibility to fear, however, these genetic differences in fearfulness may be only detectable at lower levels of induced fear.

Genetic parameters of egg characteristics in Japanese quail.
TL;DR: The results indicate that individual selection should be the most efficient method of improving egg characteristics and that consideration should be given to the interrelationship of characteristics to accomplish genetic improvement.
