Are these pharaohs or something else?

[Yes]

Hello! I'm new to hatching quail here. Recently got some eggs from a friend and these two popped out!

Would I be correct to call the color variety of these two birds pharaoh? I'm a bit confused because one of the birds has a black stomach and black legs, while the other has a yellow stomach and orange legs.

Or maybe they are both different color varieties? What do you guys think?

This is what they look like from the side.

The one with dark legs & beak looks like it could be a Tibetan

 

[Yes]

I thought Tibetans are supposed to be solid colored. This chick has the kind of stripey pattern that I see in pictures of pharaoh chicks.
Would having that pattern disqualify the chick from being a Tibetan, or is it another variation that can happen?

They look a little more orange and dark than pharaohs, but it's too early to tell for sure.

I'm curious to know what your suspicion is

I'm guessing rouge of some sort. We'll have a much better idea in a couple weeks.

I think it's too early to tell too but I look forward to watching them change over the next few weeks. Will you post weekly pics of these two?

 

[Yes]

Rouge sounds really interesting. Definitely quite cool if they are indeed that. But I guess only time can tell.

 

[Yes]

Sure! I'm excited to see how they will change as they grow up.

This is a more recent picture of them where the one with the black feet (on the left) has started developing a more distinct head pattern. It looks a little like a broken diamond! I wonder if the lines will eventually join together to create a full diamond.

Does the darker chick have yellow eyebrows at all? That chick will probably fall somewhere between pharoah and Rosetta, but lean towards pharaoh with lots of lacing and pencilling on the feathers, it may or may not be feather sexable.
