White coturnix, which are not really Texas A&M's, are not feather sexable. You'll have to either wait till one crows, or try look'n up their skirt (vent sexing)... BTW, I would recommend get'n a six pack and wait'n for the crow.... They should start crow'n at around 5 weeks. When one crows, put a zip tie loose on his ankle. All roos get zip ties... FYI Texas A&M's were brown birds when they left Texas A&M decades ago....

It's too soon to sex them yet. I would wait until 6 weeks at least for the Texas A and M/Jumbo White birds.

DO NOT CONFUSE BOB WHITE SPECIES WITH COTURNIX SPECIES

The Snow flakes he had were white bob whites, he was a large scale breeder for the ranches

PLAIN WHITE? NO COLORING OR PATERNING ON THEM?

They were not plain white, they looked white with the same patterning as bob whites the pattern was black, the gentleman who had them I belive has been breeding for well over 10 or more years. He said they were called snowflakes. He said they were not very common,
