This is Cinni and Sugar.
I thought sugar was going to be a pearl fee, but I think she will be some sort of white/tan fee (idk the name). Her eyes used to be a pale blue, but now they look greenish brown. I really hoped her eyes would stay like that!
Thought Cinni could be a Pharaoh before, but she's looking a bit darker, I think she could be a celadon or something.

I am transferring them into a bigger cage tomorrow.
Cinni looks smaller because she is a 'runt'. Dont know if there's another word for it.
Cinni is the dark one, Sugar is the light one.

Here are baby pics:

If you don't know, feel free to just say they're cute. For every compliment of their cuteness they get an extra foraging toy for their new cage.

I don’t know the colors but cinnamon is definitely not a celadon. Celadon is not the color of the bird the celadon gene is a recessive gene that makes the eggs a blue color. Like the circled one of my eggs in the picture. I’m sure @Kiki @Nabiki or @muddy75 will be able to help with the colors. They are very cute btw.

I am also thinking by the lack of spots on sugars chest that it might be a roo depending on if it’s feather sexable.

Thanks! Toy made :) this one you can hide treats in. It's my adult Quail's favourite toy.

I didn't realize that, but the blue eggs are cool! One of my quail (Spot) recently laid a cool looking egg that was blue inside and outside.

As long as both of them aren't roos 😅
I'm hoping for one male and one female, so I can finally breed my own quail.
 
Turns out Sugar's eyes are still bright blue!! I was looking through the phone camera so I got confused. I think they are gonna stay like this 😍
I've never seen a quail with eyes like this before!

How rare are eyes this blue?? I've actually never seen one like this before, even in white quail.
 
Sugar looks like pansy fee and Cinnamon looks like grau fee to me. Neither are feather sexable.
That's so cool! I was just saying the other day how I wanted a pansy fee 🤣
They look like pearls but with more black!
How differently coloured can grau fee be to eachother? You said my gray/light brown coloured quail, Spot, was a grau fee, how can a dark brown one also be classified as the same colour? Or do they change colour alot?
