do any of them make a crow ?

Most people don't know what a button quail's crow sounds like. If you've ever heard the 'wind' or 'darth vader' sound they make, that is the males' crow.

yeah i know

i got about 10 males and 5 females - i got to stock on females has they died away on me

That's just a locator call, both sexes do that.

The easiest way to tell would be to separate those two and see if they do it. Both of them mounting sounds like they are both male.

The vent feathers don't have to be red, they can be very light pink. Any color combination with blueface will not have a bib.​

Well she is completely silver tip to tip.. I picked her up with much protest from her... No pink or tinge of coloring around her vent.

In case I was blind I had my bf look too... No tint of ANY color besides silver.
