I’ve read and researched and just when I think I’ve figured out what color type of Coturnix we have, I second guess myself. These birds were hatcherys choice from SW game birds and are 5.5 weeks old. I’ve read mixed things about issues that arise from breeding certain colors/types so want to make sure I’m sure of what we’ve got before we separate them out.
#1 bird front view
#1 back
#1 Top view with #2 bird
#2 bird chest view (similar to #5 & 6, but this ones chest is speckled and has a more grey than cream appearance overall)
#3 light orangey color
#4
#5
#5 & #6 - both are similar to #2 but have much lighter chests and lighter feather pattern overall.
