I have one incubator I don't know when they are due! But they look full, so I am going to guess Christmas.

Me too

I did indeed! So far I only have 1 male with foam, but he is over a year old and I’d like to replace him but none of the other young ones have foam so I’m too scared to cull him just yet.

are they together ? Maybe they are "hiding" from the bigger older male ?

Granny, when you have some that are not feather sexable, then you have to vent check them. But make sure it is a pearl of foam, or it could be a female that was just mated.

I just recently put them together. My big guy didn’t even attempt to fight them. Maybe they are weird girls. Or weird boys. Idk.

HOw old are the young ones?

I cant remember exactly but they’ve gotta be approaching 6 months.

I am not vent checking no quail .

sounds like you need a new batch. At 6 - 8 weeks, they should be producing foam. At 6 months and older, their fertility may drop.

Good thing I have some in the bator! Hopefully I get some ACTUAL males.
