    Are my Coturnix Quail a Male or Female?

    Hi All, The first post and the last post by me to this thread was in 2012 as you can see. It is now 2014 and I just came across this yet again in my internet adventures on anything new about quail out there. Anyway, I thought I had better update this thread. The two quail in question both...

    Japanese Quail Coturnix Japonica Females???

    I know this is an old thread but when I came across this , I had to correct it. All the photos are males for sure. I repeat definitely not females. I have been breeding these types of Coturnix Quails for some time now. The top photo of the quail's front is similar to the New Zealand Quails -...

    3wk old dieing quail. Helep!

    Thanks for that bfrancis. Just one more question if I may. I don't want to assume wrong but are Texas A&M and Jumbo White Coturnix Quail the same thing? Ok, you can hysterically laugh now! They are aren't they!

    Oh and Quail Lady..you know I thought you wrote Father to Daughter and Mother to Son the whole time! I was wondering what the others were on about! I think I need a snooze myself. Actually haaa coffee!

    3wk old dieing quail. Helep!

    Thanks for all your replies. I don't think I will inbreed at all. I don't want any problems down the track. I plan on using two males from my chicks and placing them with new older Jumbo Japanease hens I bought. All I need now is more room!

    Are my Coturnix Quail a Male or Female?

    The Golden Quail at the back layed eggs yesterday and today! Looks male! Does that mean she might be an hermaphrodite? She would be if the eggs didn't have yolks - right? They have yolks and were delicious! Maybe the brown Jap male might be ok too!? If I put these two together and I get chicks...

    Are my Coturnix Quail a Male or Female?

    Wow! That was out of left field! Could this happen from inbreeding quail? It is possible for it to fertilize a hen? I guess it would depend how much male it is!? Thanks so much Quail Lady

    Are my Coturnix Quail a Male or Female?

    Sorry about the picture quality! This is the vent of the quail in question - front quail in first photo above. Are they good enough picture to tell? Thanks. And many thanks again for your help. I made the mistake I think of buying "mixed gender" quails at auction! Most of them are turning out to...

    Are my Coturnix Quail a Male or Female?

    Hi CoosaQuail, Thanks for replying to my post. Yeah, female, that's what I thought (spots on the front also!) but the bolbous behind with the foam is confusing. It is a Jumbo Pharoah Coturnix. I had some normal size Pharoah quail and they were smaller. I am clutching at straws but maybe the...

    Are my Coturnix Quail a Male or Female?

    The quail at the front has a bulbous vent with foam and a little comes out on its poo! The quail at the back - Its vent is not bulbous and has no foam! Now, I know by that they are meant to be male at the front and female at the back. But, by the looks of them they are female at the front and...

    3wk old dieing quail. Helep!

    I said I would keep you posted. My new chicks are sooo adorable and I got some yellow this time. My white laying bird (can't tell if Texas A&M or White Japanese quail) finally came to age. Yeay! Not much of a size difference but they are the biggest chicks out of the lot. Due to a younger mum I...

    3wk old dieing quail. Helep!

    Hi JJMR494, Thanks for making me aware of such a thing. I have looked into it. All of my quail are healthy and laying really well. The newest was added 2 months ago and very healthy. It is also a rule in my house that hands are washed before touching the babies. All new things were used in the...

    3wk old dieing quail. Helep!

    I am sorry if I am not consentrating who to answer specifically, but I just thought of a few more things. First I might try blending the layer pellets (Golden Grain Layer Pellets) up that I feed to my quail for an experiment if the same thing occures to my next quail chicks that are due to hatch...

    3wk old dieing quail. Helep!

    Wow! Thanks for the quick replies. I am dumping the litter! The kitty litter stones are not hard as such or sharp and never got hot. The baby's feet are not cut or hurt at all. It is "CATSAN Cat Litter Clumping Clay". The packet says it is entirely made up of naturally occuring Australian...

    3wk old dieing quail. Helep!

    I live in Canberra, Australia. Up to now the outside of my quail environment has been cool and they have had 80 f temp in the brooder. They get covered at night. Last night was different. It was a warm night so I turned the light off in their brooder and the temp stayed at 80 f when I checked it...
