I have a small flock of 7 quail this year that I hatched like I do each spring. I usually give my quail away in the fall so I don't have to feed/water in the winter. I am considering keeping this flock to hatch their eggs in the spring though.
I don't know what colors to call afew of them though. This pic is of a (left) speckled Italian. The middle I have been calling blonde, the right one (my faaaavorite is a dove gray with dark blue spots and white like a tuxedo. I have been calling her my lilac tri-color haha. What are these two really called? My rooster is blue/lilac colored like the tri-color hen, but he is marked like the speckled italian if that make sense. Speckled lilac, haha

It is hard to get them to hold still for pics!

Beautiful birds :) I don't know 100% but I think that's an Italian, manchurian and a silver tuxedo? :D
