Hi, 4 weeks ago today I hatched my first ever Quails. Out of 23 eggs I was very lucky to hatch 19 of them, all of which are still alive and slightly bonkers! Anyway, out of the 19, 18 of them are normal Coturnix colour (and 13 of them male!oops). However I got an odd one out, sweet little Bob/Kate who is gorgeous and my favourite. This is him/her a week ago and just now. What colour is it and any hints to ascertaining the sex? Venting wasn't conclusive for me!
It looks like a Roux Dilute to me. I have a couple of those too and they are also my favorite. Both are girls. I agree yours does look like a female because of the spots. Here is a picture of mine for comparison. Not the best picture as she was being a wiggle worm. FYI, vent sexing doesn't really work till about week 6.
