This might be a little bit of a dumb question but has anybody ever gotten a yellow coturnix chick with light cinnamon colored stripes on it? i got pretty excited to see it in my brooder tonight :)

the chick i mean is at bottom...
Coturnix quail are the best survivors i have ever seen, and i just needed to share this girl's story. she was hatched at an expo i was speaking at, and her chances were looking dim. i read that the condition only worsens with age and they often die only a few days old. still, i took her home...
I know theres silkies and games and cochins and stuff, but i have no idea as to their personalities and needs. Im new to chickens. i need a bird that is hardy in idaho weather lol boise specifically. Summer days are commonly 110 and winters will usually get down to 0 or -10. heres the kicker-...
these are my first coturnix quail... it was the first time ive ever ordered eggs online... and the first time ive ever had a hatch. good old homemade incubator, too! so i guess you could say im pretty proud of these babies thought id share some pics.
this is my best wild color. sorry its...
i havent seen many members from idaho, yet. i mostly raise coturnix and chickens but i have a few other birds because their personalities are so great i dont own alot of birds... my parents and neighborhood wont let me anyways, just thought id do the intro. glad to be a part of BYC
