For fun - button quail color guess

[Chellesama]

So my newest buttons are a week old. The parents are wild-type mother and a choice of fathers (long story, Mr. Hyde screams without his brother) a double blue and a tuxedo.

What do you think we'll get?

Sorry for the lousy pictures. Donna Summer is a protective mama and charges us for looking too long, never mind getting close with a camera.

A few better snaps. I distracted the adults with live crickets.

I would say a cinnamon, a red breastfed, and a Blueface. Hard to tell at this age though.

That's what I'm thinking.

Thank you for chiming in! Most of my family hates my birds, even though I live 6 hours away and they don't have to "deal with" them, so it makes me really happy to have someone else look at them.

My family isn't a huge fan of my bird obsession either, but that's not really a problem for me
