With tuxedos it’s more difficult than some other colors/patterns. You’ll want to listen for crowing, and if they get enough light - 14+ hours, the males will get a bulge just behind their vent. If you press the bulge, foam will come out, and you’ll know for sure it’s a boy. As you get more skilled at vent sexing, you’ll notice that hens have a wider vent and it’s like a wide oval, the males have a smaller vent, and it looks like a small o, but the hens’ vents don’t get really wide until they lay an egg for the first time.Thanks for replying floor candy .I'm a brand new quail owner- literally 2 weeks so Im not sure if she's even a "she" we purchased 10 tuxedos and only 2 we're supposed to be male but I've actually caught 5 trying to submit the other 5 and immediately removed those trying to mount and put them in a cage by themselves..the males feet are always dangerous ly close to the females face so I'm assuming she got clawed.. but now that u mention it I'm not even sure how to tell who a boy or girl other than the seller said listen for them crow or see if any mount the others then there's ur males so I'm literally brand new at this..would u have any suggestions on how to care for her judging by the picture I posted cuz I do not have any vets in 4 surrounding states that treat quail..if u have any tips I'd greatly appreciate any and all help.. thanksand thanks from r letting me know they only kick males
