Cyclops Chick (GRAPHIC!)

Brand for supplementation of Green Tea

🥰CUTEST PICS HERE! Help, button quail expert needed. 🥰
Hard to tell for sure as chicks can present as different variations while young. The lighting on the striped pattern chicks can also make interpretating their morphs difficult. I do possibly see some normals, golden pearls, red breasteds, a splash, and the last one is a silver of some sort... -
