Any guess at chick colours?

Hi there, these are my handraised 6 week old zebra chicks. Two look identical, I think normal greys. The other is more of a beige/grey, with beige underbelly and leg feathers, also the stripes on tail are beige not white. Does anyone know what they might turn into as adults? Parents are normal grey male, who has a fawn sister (in my other photo), and mom is grey pied. The two adult pics are of my favourite female a fawn, and I found a handsome mate to pair her with finally. I believe he is a dilute? He is a silvery beige and his cheek patches are pale orange versus the normal deep orange. Does anyone know what colour he is?? Thanks for all your help!

Is the bird you are trying to ID on another topic post?

You can add more pictures to this thread by hitting relpy at the bottom and adding pictures here It would help to see the hole family including the parents...the bird in the other topic thread looks like a Silver Isabel female, no tear...I do not see orange cheeks or flanks so it looks to be a girl...if it has not molted at least twice and you seehints of chestnut flanks and cheeks it may be a Florida silver male. But most likely it is a silver Isabel female. How old is the bird?
