Hi Martin, good to have another quail enthusiast on board here. These chicks sound lovely, any chance you could post some pictures for us to see? How old are they? (bearing in mind that their colouring changes as they feather up and mature.) Did you breed the eggs yourself, if not can the breeder you got them from tell you any more about them?

they are around 3 weeks old, I breed them myself I have a white quail in with wild color and Italian Japanese I will post some pics of them soon thanks,

What a little beauty! Does the silver colour go right over the body and wings?

 

[Martin_1]

yes it seems to there is a few which are darker than that one

Does anyone know whether there's a name for this colour, or have you bred something new, Martin, do you think?
Would be nice to see a pic of the whole bird.
