Hi— This is my first hatch. I have 5 quail that i hatched from grocery store eggs (sort of on a bet that they would hatch), and two of them appear to be fee.
Two of the five are clearly female, but i really can’t tell about these three, though one of them looks strongly like a male to me. They are almost 4 weeks.

Thank you!

The second photo might be a hen, the others are male. I’d wait until 4 weeks just to be sure those aren’t baby spots. Fee isn’t a color, it is a dilution gene that makes the actual Color or base pattern gray scale (a pearl or Italian fee is white with black spots instead of yellow/beige with black spots), falb fee is a gray toned pharoah/wild and Grau fee is a gray Rosetta/eb.
