What colors are these quail going to be?

1 and 3 are definitely red breasteds...problem with the silvers is that the adult coloring can be completely different: ie. silver red breast, silver blue face (smokey), silver cinnamon (ivory), silver pearl, etc........you get what I am saying? That is the toughy with button colors at this age. If we all wait until they get their feathers it's a little easier to tell..

It might be easier if we wait, but it's more fun to quess. And they (the variations of color within each color) are a little different as they grow and feather out. So that makes it even harder, I am thinking. So as babies, their colors are going to vary alot because of the differences in the variations of the colors in the adults and possible crossings in past generations. Because all silver cinnamon's for instance are not going to look exactly alike, there are going to be variations in the coloring. I hope I just said what I mean.
