Quail colors

Another poster of what color are these coturnix quails ?

These are my best guess. I'm not an expert on colour, but I'm familiar with some.

If I were to breed them or split in groups which color should I keep together. I know I only have five at the moment but I have a bunch that hatch and growing out at the moment.

The only combination I would NOT recommend is silver to silver. You will get lower hatch rates and a much higher rate of poor, defective chicks.

Thank you so much ! I’m just beginning the quail journey and it so much more addictive then chickens
