Chick colors

[SpotTheCat]

This is my Tibetan baby for comparison.

I think better pictures of the chicks in question would help, the lighting makes it very hard to see what colour they are. You might be right about 4

Here is my Tibetan

All have light legs, but either 1 or 4 has black spots on the skin as well. 2 is a wild type I believe, I know that much, but the pharoah and Egyptian look the same to me apart from that

Yeah I can’t tell the Egyptian and Pharoah apart either. Maybe you have Tibetan tuxes as the other poster mentioned…I was told there’s a much narrower criteria for Tibetan than Rosetta…and most are Rosetta for that reason. I don’t know, but they sure are pretty! Your adult birds are too! wish I was more help! When they fluff out more it might be easier I added a couple more pics of my babies that just hatched (mainly cuz quail babies are so cute and stay this little for such a short time!). Mine are Celadons, so I was excited to get something other than the tuxedo coloring!

I'll get more pictures tomorrow, that's as close to natural lighting as I can get though because of how young they are and using a lamp with them

Ahh your Tibetan is adorable too! I just love the baby fluff ball stage! And the Tibetan coloring is really cool.

I had a ton of celadon (only 2 tuxes actually and one was a male I didn't use) but they got out one day and none of those eggs are wanting to hatch unfortunately. These 4 are all from normal coturnix. The tux and the male in the red dish are both celadon so these could potentially have one gene

Oops, my Pansy Fee snuck in the pics too…disregard that one, it is not a celadon

Oh sad! Their eggs seem to be much more sensitive to hatching in incubators. Would be nice if you got a surprise in another hatch later with some blue eggs! I really want to try adding silver coloring to my celadon layers…I have one silver male…so I’m going to be giving that a shot here in the next little while. Should be fun to try anyway!

Two of my celadon males are silver, so you have some chances there too.

Oh yay!! That would be super awesome…fingers crossed. Good thing I just got my new incubator haha.
