A week after my lone Red Factor Chick left the nest ( my ONLY canary chick for this year ) , i had two clutches of quail hatch a day apart from each other. One clutch are all brown like both parents, but i have three colours in the chicks in the second batch - and both parents are brown. Note the single silver chick amoungst the three yellow and four brown. So this year wasnt a COMPLETE flop for me, afterall. One long awaited red factor chick, two lots of quail - oh, and I am expecting my first born in a couple months also !!!!!

The yellows are the silvers, the browns are normals - but I've not seen anything like the fawn-coloured one before..... Very interesting!!JEWEL wrote: Note the single silver chick amoungst the three yellow and four brown

Is the odd chick cinnamon ? Congrats with the bird breeding. Course gravel will be a bit of struggle for the quail chicks to get around for the first few days.

Nope, cinnamon looks just like silver (being yellow) but they have two reddish racing stripes - not brown coloured...desertbirds wrote:Is the odd chick cinnamon?

Congratulations all all counts. Could the different quail chick be a mushroom? Very cinnamon silver for those who need a description.
