She made it!

This is the first time I’ve ever had a chick hatch out with crossbeak, and it also only had one eye! I did loads of research and it appeared that she would likely struggle with neurological issues too due to the skull deformity, I didn’t think she would make it past the first few days but here we are! Soon she’ll be laying eggs. The only downside to keeping this little one is that I have to grind her pellets down into crumbs and feed her from a deep bowl otherwise she can’t pick up the food, but it’s 100% worth it to keep this sweet little fighter in the flock

Ordered these hatching eggs online, being sold as “jumbo” coturnix with no photos of the parent birds so the mutations were a mystery, a couple of the chicks are visibly a normal wildtype/pharaoh colour but the rest are very pale (but still have the bold stripes unlike Italian/manchurian) could they be falb fee? If not what mutation are they if it isn’t too early to tell?
