A few months ago I acquired some quail from a co worker of my son, I think it was 14-15, the guy said most are hens with just 4-5 males, it was the opposite, with just 5 hens the rest were males, there was a white one that was crippled, he said that she still lays eggs, I was feeding on day and it crowed, so it was a rooster.
I had been hatching eggs from this group, and I ended up with some crosses, I have one solid white with a black dot on its head and the rest area brown with white breast and some white feathers over the body, the crippled bird was breeding, they are very pretty, I call them my hybrids.
If it works like sex link chickens, shouldn’t the solid white one be a male?
They aren’t quite old enough to vent sex yet.
Maybe a quail expert can tell me the answer.
