Coturnix 3 weeks sexing

[tamsflock]

These are 3 weeks now. I read that is when you can start to tell.
These are my first and I was thinking 2 on the Right to be boys and the 1 on the left to be female. What do you think??

I would agree...looks like nice little red on the two boys and the female is speckeled...want some real fun...try sexing the white ones

From left to right...

Female.....Male......Male

I have 22 more little ones that are a week old. I'll think the whites would be crazy to try to sex Thanks for your input.

they are

a dotted full chest is a hen, a red/rusty chest (can have some spots on the youngster males) are males.

Other colors, it's very hard.

Browns and goldens are easy peasy to tell

That's what I did with my 2 A&M's. I didn't have too long to wait, since they both started crowing at 5 weeks!!

I have some browns or chocolates or whatever you want to call them...anyways...is there any difference in the head colors? I think some of mine are a lshade lighter than others and thought this might be a sex difference but might be just due to variation...if it is the sex difeerence are the more brown ones (less chocolate) female?
