Hi all,
Recently I posted about getting button quail eggs for the first time. It wasn’t until someone helpfully pointed out to me that the eggs weren’t that of button quail at all... I can only assume they are actually Coturnix quail instead (got duped in the purchase it seems). My mistake for not realising quail eggs looked different, I’m still new to them.
Anyways, today was the big day, and all 7 of my eggs hatched out. I’ve read that there are different colour variants in them but couldn’t find a list regarding baby chicks, only adults, but most of my new arrivals surprised me with just how many variants they came out as. I can quite easily tell individuals apart at the moment haha.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could potentially tell me what colours I might be expecting with these guys? Many thanks.

Rocky (has an underbite):

Peach:
And lastly, Dot (they were upside down in the egg and couldn’t cap from the other side, so I had to assist hatch them):
