Been a while on here, but I hatched out 19 more quail. they are now 8 weeks, and I have been trying to sex them. I tried the "foam method, which I have succesfully done before, but now, no. I have heard them crow too. Any help?
 
I'm not sure about colour sexing, but I read this morning (also trying to sex my quail) that if the males aren't sexually active then they don't produce the foam or have as large a bulge. I've also herd crowing but can't figure out who's doing it because none of my quail are mating while they settle in to their new home. That might be why you're struggling to sex them.
 
If they don’t get 14+ hours of light they won’t really produce foam. Light them up on timers and I bet you’ll have lots of foam.
