Female quail crowing?

[Birds1243]

Is it normal for a female quail to crow…? I have 2 female quails who live together. When L cannot see B, she crows maybe once or twice. Is this still normal behaviour in females?

If it's crowing, it's male. Do you have a video that you could post to YouTube or other file sharing site and link here?

I will try get a recording of it at some point. She was sold as a female to me they were vent sexed too so I’m so confused now

Oh noooo yeah crowing is only done by the males. Girls usually sound like tribbles or crickets when you can hear them at all, they're such quiet ladies most of the time. Are you familiar with the crowing noise, aka have you had quail before? Fingers crossed one of your girls just decided to shout her cricket song and you mistook it for crowing, they will occasionally do that if really disturbed by something.

If they ARE male see if the buyer will do an exchange for an actual hen, since that's totally on them.
