Wrong birds sent, still a mystery at 5 wks

How did you find a list of what pullet pullet carries? All that comes up for me is self blue and black since that's all that's available at this time. I didn't even know there was such a thing as splash quail.
We have had the worst luck with the Belgian quail. Our 4th order arrived today. Order one-Purely Poultry- wrong color
Order two-Welp hatchery-all 15 quail d'Anvers died within a week
Order three-Privett hatchery-3 of 15 still alive.
Order four -Privett hatchery, arrived today. 6 arrived dead out of 30. One got wet in the quail waterer and died.
We are treating them like we do our Serama chicks; wet mash made from chick starter, quail waterer with vitamins

Goodness!! That is some bad luck!! I’m so sorry!! Splash quail is really pretty! Have you considered getting hatching eggs? I’m doing that this year with d’Anvers, the ones I’m hoping to get to hatch are either BBS colors or cuckoo! And I hatched 2 self blues as well.

Off of their website. Their color is very light indicating splash rather than blue quail

Oh my! Those faces!
Self blue is my favorite color. I have bantam Cochin, Barbu d'Uccle and OEGB in self blue.
The quail d'Anvers are my daughters favorite breed and favorite color. It's all she's wanted. I had no idea they were so delicate. I thought they would be like d'Uccle- tough little boogers. You always expect one or two to die, but I've never seen so many deaths. I'm a bit afraid too go look in the brooder this morning.
