Bobs don't really come "in colors" like coturnix quail. It is hard to tell with your lighting what colors they are sporting. If they were bred with Snowflake Bobs, Butlers can lighten up quite a bit. Mixing Northerns with Butlers will lighten or darken the colors depending on who's genes are dominating.

Yours may have some Snowflake somewhere in the genes, hard to tell from your pic.

Thanks for the response sorry about the pics it's the best I could get as far as I know the parents were from normal butlers as well the chicks are like a smokey blue with a few white feathers on there wings if that makes any sense

You may never know what this chick is a mix of. Post pics when they get their adult feathers. I would love to see the outcome.
