Boys or girls?

Quail can use nipples btw. I start mine at 3 weeks. Put the new waterer in and press the nipples so they have a bit of water underneath on the little protrusion, every hour or so press the nipples again, and they should figure it out after a few go arounds.

Thank you, mine has just vertical nipples with nothing under them, maybe I can put something like a little bottle cap just under it? Tha waterer is outside the cage and just the nipples are in, so it's simple to fix something on the wall of the cage.
 
I'm going to disagree with everyone and say 4 and 5 could go either way. Sort of leaning toward boys due to the possible appearance of a beard.

Beards are not gender specific. That just happens when the feathers get rumpled. At their age, those are pretty definitely spots. They might fade, but it's unlikely at this point.

Yeah, I was fooled by this boy though, and I'm seeing white necks on the last two. Some of my birds just do not conform to the standards so I'm looking for something better than "spots or no spots", to look for, I guess.
