striped chicks

[swheat]

I had 2 little striped coturnix chicks hatch from the a&m eggs. Is this the normal or wild type variety ?

Looks like the standard issue to me. Has the slightly redder eyebrows, i'll call him norm and her norma.

That looks like a brown chick to me. It's size is yet to be determined.

This dominant pattern/color/strain/ happens normally but it's most likely a case of human error.

Oops....Joe sent out 2 dozen JUMBO WHITES, and mixed up an egg or two.

The good news is, it's a coturnix. It will breed like a coturnix, and it will taste exactly like a coturnix should you wish to eat in in 8-10+ weeks.

You should have saved me some of those margaritas ... then I probably would have wrote "stripper chicks"..

I thought the 2 chicks might be browns but wasn't sure, I missed them at hatch day, I guess they kinda blended with the bobs. I have small batches of coturnix eggs that maybe assorted so I might have some more to go with them. I think they are due 8/14, 8/18 & 8/22.
