I got a handful of chicks from someone last weekend who estimated their hatch date to be 6/19-ish. There are two chicks in particular who are quite a bit smaller, though, and don't appear to have quite as many feathers growing in yet. I'm still new to quail and these are the first chicks I've raised, so I was hoping someone might be able to give a better age estimation?
The (presumably) older ones all look like this:
And then younger(?) two look like this:
The ones similar to the first picture appear to be your typical wild type coloration, but I'm not sure what the other two are. Their parents looked darker, but I didn't get a great look at them, and they have pink and black legs/toes. All I know is that they supposedly carry the celadon gene.
