Crossing colors of corturnix quail

[mamagoose2008]

I have both brown corturnix and Falb fee in one cage. I recently hatched a batch of chicks from them- should they all be feather sexable still? Some are obvious and some are not. Tapping the hive mind!

Yes. Fee only removes the brown pigment from the bird - if you have a feather sexable variety, males will still have a clear breast (though the rusty color may be gone) while females should have a spotted breast.
