Quail Chick Color Guessing Game!?

The first pic the really pale silver you posted - that is a boy? Geesh lol I would have thought it a girl I dunno why, must be the color or the face but actually the face looks a bit like my male Taco even though he’s brown. They got the same look in their eyes

He's got a little different shape than some of my other boys. I really like him, though - he's throwing close to 100% fertile eggs with his Italian girlfriend, expecting some babies this week. That was also a pic of him when he was 4/5 weeks, he's grown a bit, though still on the smaller side. His name is Speedracer; he came practically flying out of his egg doing laps around the incubator.
 
PLEASE PLEASE post pics as they grow up.
I need this chick!

I kinda just got a wild hair and decided to grab a batch from eBay - just some mixed batch that listed silver, tux, Tibetan, etc. I thought it would be fun to just grab some random eggs and see what happens!
Where did you get your eggs from?

So this is what happened! lol! I got pretty much exactly what I wanted and some I have 2 of some I have 1. So far I got about an 80% hatch rate from these shipped eggs, 4 are still in the bator but I don’t think they made it. Ah well. I’ll give them a little more time and see...

These two!!!!
I think the top one is a Tibetan tux and the bottom is just a normal dark color Tibetan? It doesn’t have that bright bright yellow like the other.

There are two I call the “panda twins” that look like the tux there on this top pic. And there is also two I call the cinnamon twins and they are a lighter color tux as well - looks just like the little pandas but cinnamon color, I’ve no clue what those will look like when adults it’s just what I call them now...

There is 2 Italian twins, and some red/golden/something in the mix and another very very pale silver...

I love them they are super cute lol

This one that is staring at me is one of the lighter color tuxedos, not dark like the panda looking ones lol so maybe they are like a red color or something. They have no stripes or anything so maybe some dark silver I’ve no clue.

I think there is some Rosetta in there or red or range or whatever it’s called - there is so many color names to describe the birds!
