Do the male coturnix quail crow in the winter?

[Julzzz]

This is a pretty silly question. I hatched out coturnix quail in October and they have been mature but I haven't heard any crowing at all. I had these kind of quail but never over winter. Out of 7 birds and I dont think they are all female. Also not a single egg. Probably because days are too short.

Mine crow. Some days more than others.

It takes at least 8 weeks to mature, so they're only between 9-12 weeks depending om when they were hatched. My males usually started crowing later and my gals usually waiting until around 3 months to start laying when the light was still pretty good

my halloween babies started crowing in the cage, but all is quiet since i moved them to the aviary

I've found that they crow less during the winter, but they do crow. Some crow more than others.

Second that. I have a male that doesn't hardly ever crow in his flock. If he wasn't making fertile eggs, I'd think he was a gal

Mine used to crow all the time. Most of the males got culled and now that there's no battle for supremacy, it's pretty quiet.

Both of them stopped now. I think around October. The Texas A &M was pretty loud but when I put him with 4 hens he was very content and stopped.
