According to my flock, your calculator is wrong

Also, my A+M lay speckled eggs

I tried to link the calculator but it isn’t working. If you google quail calculator it should be the first thing to come up.

Of course the results will vary if the quial have hidden recessive genes. I’m sure there are veriations and different colors but it’s a fun tool to play with.

Those are definitely white coturnix. The black dot and shape should tell you a lot.

English whites would have two dots not one.

Only one of these has a black dot at all, the other 2 are pure white?

Genetics makes me bang my head on a wall lol!

English Whites can be solid white, or have one to a few spots. It's just genetics that determines if they have spots. If the spots are lower on the back or towards the tail I believe they would be technically a tuxedo or pied version.

This one bird has one black spot on its head. The other 2 all white
I believe these are most likely just white coturnix? Eggs are tiny. I will take a picture of eggs for comparison later today.

Are the eggs consistently small? A disruption or stress can make the bird misfire and lay odd eggs, but if they are the same size each time that's probably just the normal for that bird.

Have you weighed the eggs? Regular coturnix that haven't been mixed with any jumbo strains have small eggs, usually less than 10 grams. Jumbos typically lay larger eggs, around 13+ grams, sometimes up to 18 grams or higher.
