♫ Let's Talk About Sex, Quaily ♫

[BawkBawkBowdler]

Any quail experts out there want to take a stab at sexing my 15 4-week old quail? I'm fairly certain about some (like 6 and 13) but I'm not so sure about some of them. I'd like to be able to separate them before they get too old and start getting into trouble. Thanks!

Let's talk about you and me!

I am pretty sure about most of them. Here's my two cents:
1 hen
2 roo
3 hen
4
5 hen
6 hen
7 hen
8 roo
9 roo
10 roo
11 roo
12 hen
13
14 roo
15 roo

I agree with equus. My guess would be 4 is a roo, there seems to be a little bit of red color, but 13 really has me as well. Not a single spot, but also not the slightest hint of red..

I think 4 is a roo too. This is what I walked out to this morning. He was in the same hutch as 1-7. I think 2 got to him. Looks like it is time to separate all the boys.

Oh, poor thing. I have some boys to remove from my now-grown chicks as well.
