Recently I removed my male quail from my Coturnix quail flock because they were hurting the females.
I noticed, a month later, that one of my females was jumping on the other females in an attempt to mate with them.
I immediately vent sexed her/him and determined that it was now a male, due to the foam excreted from her/his vent.
I am doing a science project on sex change in quail, and I was wondering if anyone knows if this quail is now a fertile male?
Has anyone had similar experiences with birds?
Any information is much appreciated.
