At what age are button quail feather sexable?

[PattieTheDuck]

I have 4 button quails who are all 3 weeks old and Jm quite curious of their gender at the moment.

Button quail take longer to mature than coturnix. I would wait at least a couple more weeks.

Alright. I’m mostly curious because I swear I see reddish feathers around the vent area of atleast one of them

It's possible. If you do, then that's a male.

Now I am quite sure 3 of the 4 are males. I am unsure of the silver one.

They all have that black bib and some blue feathering at the chest with rust colored feathers at the vent

The bib is another sign that they're male.

Yup all of them but the white one. I’m hoping it’s male because I can’t have them fighting over a single female

If they're all male, you have a much better chance of them all getting along. If the white one does turn out to be female, you may want to think about a separate home for her and her male of choice.

Perhaps so. Although, rejoining a few males could be an option as well
