That's a beautiful chick. One day I would like to compile really good pictures of all the different varieties as a reference. It would really help out those buying assorted chicks. I know that even within the Lemon Blues, there's a tremendous amount of variety in color.

Tomorrow morning I will be taking my "odd" colored cockerel to our county fair. I'm really excited to see what the judge says about him.

Pics 1 and 2 are silver, maybe golden duckwing pullets. Pics 3 and 4 look like brown red pullets. Pics 5 and 6 are both cockerels, 5 is maybe a golden duckwing? 6 could be a lot of things, BBR, Ginger, maybe a brassy. Hard to tell.

You had the lemon blue barred looking cockerel, right? Good luck and let us know how you do.

Now have 4 hens sitting the same nest. They've produced 5 chicks so far, one egg due to hatch soon, 3-4 more laid at a later date. Gonna add some more eggs, lol.

Chick from a SDW x Blue SDW breeding. So far these chicks have been 100% sexable by eye stripe at hatching. I'm gonna say this is a pullet, although it's close. Usually, any kind of visable eye stripe plus a defined head pattern = pullet.

I have hatched between 60-80 blue quail this year and have had approximately 5 different variations in down color. I think that is probably gonna be pretty typical in any blue or dun based varieties raised
