The yellow one in your photo looks like it is not albino, but probably silver. You will probably see it darken as it ages. If you have a silver, there’s always the possibility that some of the yellows that didn’t make it were double silver, probably not all of them though, since 2 silvers would produce 25% as double silvers, 50% as silvers/silver split with their other genes, and 25% of what the other genes besides silver that they carry are. Were these shipped? Because shipping can have a big effect on your hatch success as well.My quail eggs were definitely late bloomers, so my early temperature issues appear to have had an impact as I worried it would. All the babies that have not hatched properly and died were all yellow and since I have an albino chick that made it—I’m guessing they may have had some issues? :-( So far the albino baby that hatched seems healthy and able to see and walk and eat/drink—he’s just small! I now have 7 babies and a couple more that have pipped, although they are not in good spots on the egg so I’m not hopeful on those! They are all busily running around and eating and are super duper cute
