"Tibetan" Tibetan/Rosetta coturnix

Thanks.
 
You should be able to tell by the breast feather. I believe red/orange means male and speckled means female. You should see it easily on the wild type if they are old enough. Not sure about the other colors they come in. I don't have any yet but I been reading up.

Okay thanks. So are all three male? They kinda have read feathers.
 
As far as I can tell, none of those are 'wild types'. Probably all Tibetan or whatever it's called. So I think you'd need to wait till they mature and vent sex them.
 
When i say they cant be sexed by feather i mean you cannot look at them and tell them apart. Youll either have to vent sex them or wait for the roos to start crowing.
