The last one looks like Tibetan colors, but they would have to be vent sexed. Males should start crowing soon.

Thank you Don, do you know what strain these are by their feathers?

Thanks, I have two that are loud (maybe that is crowing) how many males can you have with only 5?

This is a boy, on the Pharoahs boys with have an orange breast w/o speckles, the girls will have the speckles. All others will have to be vent sexed.

This should help with the different varieties;

They look like rosetta/tibetan mutts but its hard to say for sure. Few people breed colors true. Either color will tuxedo like the bird with the white patch if crossed with a white.

The tibetan being the all black one? or is that the one your unsure about?

 

[orumpoultry]

The Tibetan should be the black looking one, yes.

Thanks I am leaning on the red one being a red Tibetan as the photos are quite similar to what mine looks like. Just started raising quail and got these as a strait run starting off small for now also got 5 female normal browns.
