Do I seriously have 8 cockerels?
Is Floppy the only roo?

They were being little posers lol.

Same age as yours, you can tell which two are most definitely boys.

Are those the only white feathers? In peafowl we call that split to white and when two birds this color mate they can produce white.

Yes ..so far the ones that look like this only have that feather or two white.

Kiki my little stripey button quail didn't make it, the two yellow/gray ones did. I was mad because they are going to feather out gray...so I bought more button quail eggs from eBay... I am hoping to get some like the picture you posted

The red breasted ones??? I want some!

I think it was weaker than the others. It took longer to hatch, partly my fault because I was messing with the incubator. Then it wasn't walking right, legs were too far apart almost spraddle leg. The other chicks were running around like maniacs so I know the footing was fine. I was worrying about putting leg braces on it and it died while I was away from the house. I think it only lived a day, two at most.
