Coutrnix quail chick color question

[DylanP]

Hi everyone , I recently hatched some coutrnix quail ( some from my own flock and a few from a guy i got chickens off of earlier this year ) some did hatch from eggs with a blue eggshell inside , i just noticed this little one has a bunch of white even though it hatched almost like a pharaoh color , do you guys possibly have any guesses as to what color it could turn into ?

Have very little experience in raising birds but maybe a tux?

Can you post a few more, clearer, photos of the bird?

I doubt it will look like a tuxedo those are usually patterns on the back only from what i seen , ill see if i can get a clearer pic in the am , i just snapped the quickest clearest pic i could get on my way out the coop i for sure have a little tuxedo jumping around there

A better picture may be helpful. I understand how hard it can be to get a clear picture of a quail (especially a chick!)

Heres the little chick in question

I have a tux who has white feathers speckled into her dark back area, I think it’s just part of the pied genes.

Ahh okay im new to tuxedo ones , the one with the white on the back has a pharaoh looking chest

There are others who could probably give better answers, but pharaohs can be tux as well, I have 1 adult and 3 pharaoh tux chicks. One person on BYC has an old quail named scrappy, and I think he’s a standard looking pharaoh, and he has random white feathers hidden around his body. He’s completely healthy and I believe over 4 years old, so there’s no health issue to it from what I’ve seen.

It could turn out brown, but most likely they will turn grayish white with brown.
