coturnix chicks hatched today, what colors?

[animal8]

Pics 4 and 5 look like tibetan pied and 6 and 7 look like Italian. The last two kind of look like red tuxedo? Not sure, I'm just comparing to the photos the Quail Lady used in her Coturnix colours sticky. Maybe someone else has a better idea of what they are? It will be easier to tell, I think, once they are fully feathered out with their adult feathers. Very beautiful birds, though!!

You have some BEAUTIFUL babies there!!!

I definitely see some blues as well! Your friend wouldn't happen to have more eggs for sale would they?

That's what I was wondering

what is the first one? a silver? does that make the second a blue?

the whitish shaft and tan spots tend to make me think its a color based on the rosetta pattern
