What colour?

[albinosilver]

These little guys just hatched 2 days ago. I assume they’re all the “normal” type variation as they all look very similar (like the one on the right). There’s just one (left) that’s lighter in colour with thinner stripes. Will it be a different colour as an adult?

I think it'll be the same or very similar. How many are there? if just a few maybe that one is the opposite gender

Looks like a wild/italian mix or a light colored wild

My last hatch had one that was quite similarly coloured to that one. I called him blondie but he turned out regular pharaoh colour with feathers.

Actually, you turned out to be right. The light coloured one ended up being the only hen of the bunch. I wonder if it’s just a coincidence or if it actually is possible at times to colour sex coturnix as chicks.

I’ve hatched another very light coloured chick. I wonder if it will end up being a hen too...

The "I'm not actually dead" pose.

That’d be interesting to find out!
