Feather sex

[eHuman]

Are there any lines of coturnix that can be feather sexed other than golden and pharaoh?

 

[clawstar]

No, a least none that I know of.

you can feather sex some chickens on the day they hatch, but quails are so small. not sure if it can be done.

 

[clawstar]

no, quail do not hatch with pins, its impossible to "feather sex" them the way you would chickens. human is referring to how Roosters and hens have a coloring difference much like Plymouth rocks do.

Roux dilutes can, once they are fully feathered. Same way as pharoahs, just in a lighter shade.

Possibly blues can as well - not sure if that's the right colour name though. It's another variation of the pharoah, in a bluey-grey shade.
