I think it is great that the quail liked to be moved around. I have had our 2 pair about 3 weeks but the lady I got them from said that they were about 6-8 weeks old. She did not really keep track of them after they were hatched, just a hobby and did not think it was important. When I got them it was fairly easy to identify them by the bib and breast color patterns so I hope that is enough. I have not checked their vents yet. The pairs that I did match get along well, cuddle a lot and groom each other. They for sure are like other animals and have their own personalities. I do keep ours in the house. However, she, the woman we got them from raised them outside so being inside is a little adjustment but they are getting a lot more settled in. One of these days I will post pictures, assuming I can get them to stop moving so I can get front and side views. I live in North East Florida and they get the morning sun in our living room plus artificial light. I wish I could get closer to their real age it sure would be great. I thought about banding them but not sure where to find small bands Can't find any locally. I was wondering if parakeet or finch plastic bands would work. Got suggestion's on age and banding. Thanks
