Chick colors

[JacinLarkwell]

The first 2 pictures and the german are the females. The tux with the german is her mate and the tux alone and the one standing in the red bowl are the other two males. So I had 3 males and 3 females possible for this group of 4

1 is a Tibetan
2 Roux (Egyptian)
3 Roux range (german)
4 difficult to see in this light, I think it might be a Roux Tibetan

I don’t know the proper names for 2 and 4. I am not sure your german is actually a german, I don’t know anything about them. all I know is I got the exact same colour from crossing a Tibetan with a Range carrying Roux

The German is the same color as the Germans Myshire sells, which is where I got 4 of the birds.

Number 4 is about middle shade between 1 and 3

Did you get the german from them?

Yes

I’m not very good with colors yet, some other quail folks would be better…but I would have guessed 1 and 4 were Rosetta tuxes (do they have dark legs or pink/yellow legs? I just hatched a Tibetan and it’s legs are almost totally black with a black beak and the Rosetta has a yellow beak and yellow legs and the Rosetta tuxes are also yellow), and the other two are probably the Germans? I’d love to see them once they feather out more, always learning with the quail colors!

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!

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

These are the best natural lighting I can get for them.
