Colour Identification

[Oob Child]

I have two baby quail, Sugar and Cinnamon, and I need help with colour identification. Sugar is definitely a pearl, and Cinnamon looks like she could be a Rosetta, but idk. Cinnamon is the darker one, Sugar is the pearl-looking one.

They are so cute I'm really happy I got a pearl, that's the whole reason I bought these eggs.

Cinnamon isn't a rosetta. I'm leaning toward Pharaoh, but they can change a lot in the next couple weeks.

Sugar might be pearl, but could be another fee type such as falb fee.

Their parents were pearl birds and the breeder said she didn't have falb fee. Does that mean she is more likely to be pearl?

I’m leaning more towards wild/Pharoh for cinnamon as well sugar will be some fee might not be pearl but she could be.

Sugar has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen on a quail. Her eyes are a bright blue! It might not show up in the photo, though. I am holding her very loosely in the photos.

@casportpony Are there competitions on BYC for eye colour?

More likely, yes, but there are very few colours that breed 100% true. There is always the chance of getting something else.
