You have so many! May I ask what the larger birds in the photo are? Are they also quail?

3.5 weeks old and I just caught one of my falb fee males crowing I think this hatch is male heavy, but I haven't counted yet.

My ill advised, “I don’t need to hatch more quail”, quail eggs are arriving today!! I’m gonna pop in some of my own eggs too, to see if Silvie is making babies yet. They go in tomorrow morning after the shipped eggs have rested…unless the box is so hot I have to put them in right away. Hope not!

I had 2 lovely Italian tuxes hatch, a couple weeks ago I caught one crowing and sent him to the auction, last night I’m pretty sure I caught the other one crowing, I pulled him and checked the vent, still baby shaped and no foam, I have a glimmer of hope still, but I’m pretty sure he was the one crowing, I was carrying the food over and heard the crow, when I looked he was the only one standing in “I just crowed” position, and he was in the area of the pen I heard it come from.

I have this bird, I guess about 4-5 weeks old. I thought it was white, and it has been living with the double silvers and albinos. Not long ago, I had combined all of the albinos and double silvers together from 3-4 different hatches and ages because the normal chicks were trying to peck their eyes, and I noticed this one was off color a bit. I hadn’t thought much of it, figured it was dirty. When I cleaned the white bird cage the other day, I got a good look, and it turns out the bird is a very faint peach colored panda or tux. In the pics you can see the undercarriage is white. The color is most concentrated at the back of the neck and shoulders:
