What am I?

[byoung14ever]

This is supposed to be a Bobwhite(Black arrow). I have coturnix(Yellow arrow) bobwhite(Yellow arrow)and pheasants(blurry) in here as well. I have three that look very different than the rest(Black arrow). I am not sure what they are maybe just colored funny? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance Brad

How old is it? It kind of looks like a guinea, but not really. I don't think it is a bobwhite, unless it's different than the normal ones.

ETA: What did the egg look like that it hatched from?

I got it from a hatchery. It is three weeks old. The others i hatched but i purchased some bobwhite and had about six of this color which only three are left. They have looked different from delivery. I bought a hundred online from a hatchery and half died within 8 hours of getting in the mail. Bummer.All have survived after the first 24 hours though.

Perhaps it was a mix up? Which hatchery did you order it from?

Is it possible that it is a chukar? Mine aren't that big, maybe Mrs AK will come along and see this

I got from Olesens Flyway. I figure monarc23 will know what it is.

Here is another picture Brad

Can you get one closer up, maybe with you holding the bird? A closer shot of the head would be most helpful, it does resemble a chukar.

I will go take one now.

I cant pick them up they are very spooky. I can handle quail and pheasants but these guys are wigglers and if he gets out i'll never find him in this garage!!
