What color (#1-3)

[CascadiaRiver]

Parents and other chicks are here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/quail-chick-colors.1673548

Chick #1 has a red eye shine, and appears to be more white than the other two


Chick #2 is mostly white with some faint spots on the head/butt so I am assuming it's a double pied/"A&M"


Chick #3 is about the same but with a much larger butt spot (I don't have a great pic of it), also assuming double pied/"A&M"

Yellow chicks likely homozygous white or silver/Blau/Andalusian, the red eyed guy might be albino. Homozygous silver and albinos often have issues.

Interesting! What sort of issues usually? Currently she's our most lively chick, I hope it continues as I'd love to see her mature

They are often weak and fail to thrive. Albinos usually go blind quickly if they don't start out blind, and they too are usually weak and fail to thrive.

So far she's very lively! It's a bummer that I probably wouldn't be able to breed her unless she ends up to be another color, for safety and all that. Wild that there was all of these genetics in these little $4 quails. I wonder where originally that gentleman got them... This has certainly been a fun project to start and I can't wait to watch them grow!
