How do I tell the colour of button quail chicks?

[Squirtkid23]

Hey I have button quails and was just wondering does anyone know what colour chicks you would get for any of these combinations

silver + wild colour
silver + golden pearl
wild colour + golden pearl

I don’t know any of my birds lineage either

Hi, welcome to BYC!

I'm not entirely sure on that one. I think it depends on the genetics of the parents. For example, I had a wildtype/silver pair who had seven chicks. Three were silvers, two were wildtypes and two were cinnamons. The parents were from a breeder who bread those three colours together, so they all had those genes. Someone else may be able to help more.

I have 3 wild types and a tux. These are what I got from them.

Is it possible to get a pied or split for colour because I know two of my birds have white tipped wings.

I really like the two silvers best so far. Here's a pic I just took.
