So I got the jumbo mix from Myshire and while I got zero whites, sad day, I did get one chick that is vastly different in color from the rest which are wilds, white wings, or egyptians.

Anyone have any idea on what color this one is? They are going on 3 weeks so I am starting to be able to tell hens from roos but this one has me confused, it looks like none of the others.

It's adorable whatever it is.
 
So now we know this one is pansy. Now the question is hen or roo? I am keeping it either way but it makes a difference for my ratios

It's so pretty! Sadly, Im not too good at telling quail gender. I have a bit of a history of messing it up :oops:
The only ones I can tell easily are wilds 🤣
 
I was just reading that so no telling yet.... i will have to just err on the side of hen safety and only put 1 roo in the cage with that one and its flock til I know for sure.
