3 quail Belgian bearded d'anvers

[SarahLadd]

These babies are 35 days old today. I'm thinking it's still too early, but, just as with my orloff thread, I'm posting this thread early to update with positive gender identification as we go. Additionally, I can't believe I was unable to find a single sexing thread on d'anvers that aren't blue. So, here's a quails thread!

I have my suspicions about the one with the redder comb. But I reserve judgment as I have no experience raising these.

Thank you!

It's much to early for any kind of certainty, but the one with the red comb is likely a cockerel.

Here's my best close ups.

Bottom is male, the others I think are females but one does have the wrong comb

Quails can be sexed really early. They look to be male. Also, interesting, one has a single comb.

 

[SarahLadd]

Yeah I know one has a single comb. I brought this up in another thread separately, and was told that it happens occasionally?

Can I see pics from the back? I’m seeing all males, but could be wrong. Quails can be sexed really early. Also, interesting, one has a single comb.

Like top side or bellies or butts?

I looked back at your pics and realized they were actually pretty clear.

Yep!
