I guess placing them all in cages would work, except everyone's quit laying for the winter and I wasn't going to bring those quail inside.

Some Tibetian roosters just have that look in their eyes. It gives them away pretty quickly.

Here is the look I was talkin about.

If you have one that you know is a roo pull it out and place in a cage (I use a large dog kennel). place cage behind you so you can tell if the separated one is crowing or if one in the mixed pen.
They will talk to the one that is separated. I find this is a lot faster then keeping them all in the same pen while trying to find roos to tag.
As you pull each roo out the ones left in the pen go nuts and crow more.. Its only when you get down the the last couple that it might slow down since the last ones tend to be the smart ones or the submissive ones.

Once you have what you think are all the roos out keep them separated for awhile. See if you get any crowing from the pen, if you do you still have a roo to identify.

Are you sure it's the Roos that would have that look in their eye, not the hens? After all, the hens are crammed in a cage with a bunch of rowdy birds-for-brains males who pin-em down and jump-em when ever they get the chance (just never when I'm looking).
Seems to me the ladies in the cage would have more cause for the P****d look.

That's actualy a pretty good idea. Putting the definite roo behind you. Can't believe I didn't do it before. I tried putting one in a cage beside. That sucked.

I still don't like the idea of sitting and watching the damb birds out in the cold, regards of the whiskey. Thought I would go out last night after I got the kids to bed, flask in hand, walky-talky in case my son woke up. All set, but when I stepped outside my darn Jack started making a holer for me to come and give him a walk and some bedtime hugs, he is so loud he woke up the dogs which in turn woke up the kids.
SO, I don't like the idea of sitting outside in the cold, because I may not get more than a few minutes to do it.

Question, if they are missing feathers on the back of their head, can I assume it is female, or could it be that there are a number of submissive males?

Feather Wear Is Only Indicative Of Being Mounted...not Accurate Sex As There Maybe A Little Jailhouse Action Going On???
