Quail Bantam Mistake

[claychickens]

Newbie here. I ordered barred rock bantams. Some how a quail Bantam got put in the mix. We noticed about a week later(newbie) . My wife loves this bird. She is very sweet and will always let us hold her. She as turned out to be the hen house pet. Here a first try at some pics.

AWW! I LOVE THE BARRED ROCK BANTAMS! I have 1 BR bantam, hen and she is real sweet! Oh, and by the by:

If you ordered from McMurray, she was probably your free rare chick. Pretty!

I called and they just made a mistake. No harm. I ordered 10 female Barred rocks and got 9 BR and 1 Quail Bantam. They look almost the same at a 3or4 days old. I only wanted to end up with 6 BR. Gave the other three to a freind. But my wife loves the Quail.

Must be a free rare chick, but that isn't a quail. She is very pretty

Someone tell what it is if it is not a Quail Antwerp Belgian Bantam. (newbie). It is 4 and 1/2 months old and it is tiny. Less that a pound and a half. I guessed at what it was from the bantams available from My pet chicken.com. Help

Here is another pic of her by the Barred rock bantams. She is less than half the size.

Aw! She looks like maybe a Old English Game bantam!!!! I'll look in my catalog and see .... Maybe a Brown Red OEG hen???

I read where there are bearded and non bearded quails. I thought is was a quail from the day old pics I have seen.

Well, do you have a pic of her when she was a chick?
