i have a pair [hopefully 1 male and 1 female] of bobwhites that i bought from a bird dealer at a swap meet. when i asked him about the age he said "young" but i figured why not and bought them anyway. he also said he would do his best to grab me a male and female, i'm pretty sure he did do that because their starting to look different. i want to know how old they are so i can know when to expect eggs approximately, i was wondering if anybody either had pictures of juvenile bobwhites with the age or if an experienced quail breeder would be able to approx. age mine if i threw up a picture.
it kind of looks like the bluish grey juvenile tail feathers are starting to come out and brown adult tails feathers are coming in
