Brand new to Quail. Need help with gender (Bobwhites)

[KristaChickenWhisperer]

So far I only have two (Getting more soon. Just trying to get the pen built first.) They are about 4 weeks old and I was wondering if any Quail experts on here can help me with what genders they might be?

Here is the bigger one:

and here is the smaller one:

Sorry the pics aren't very good but these guys are really hard to photograph!!

Anyway I doubt anyone can use these pics to tell because they aren't very good. But what should I be looking for as far as gender differentiation? And since I am getting more what is a good Male to Female ratio for breeding?

Aint the males smaller than the females?????

Too Young To Color Sex... Wait Til They Make The Color Change To Adult Coloring.... Somewhere Around 10-14 Wks Of Age.

NO, NOT IN MOST STRAINS OF BOB WHITE. MANY ARE EQUAL SIZED, MANY THE MALE IS LARGER AT MATURITY--- THESE ARE FROM MATURITY YET....
