Fortunately mine seem a bit slow flying when they first fledge, hence the current batch camping with the quail, but they seem fine once they get going.

Colour comes on slower. In pic 1 colour starts off as black and at the 6 month mark you hit 90% of the red you'll get.
The ones like in pic 3 colour faster. I have a young one now with dark brown coming through the front and red on the head. His bro is forming like pic 1 so im keen to see how they form.
