It’s a continuous cycle of me getting a new one when one of them dies, because I just can’t stand seeing my other bird being lonely and sad. It happened again…but this time, I got four 3 day...- Qquails899

“Wild type” markings on an EB +/- roux?
What would you call that color? I agree that the chick looks like a Pharaoh, but she (I’m manifesting hens to help my ratio! 😂) is DEFINITELY EB, and likely roux given the color of her beak and legs.
