looks like a girl...........you can vent sex really easy! slightly press on the top of the vent and if white foam comes out.............boy. No foam will be a girl, of course they have to be mature to do this
I must say I was pretty sure she was a female, BUT she was in with one our male and he pretty much scalped her pretty bad!
So she is in Rehad in my room in our brooder. she is healing and still spunky!
But when he scalped her thats when I started to question myself. but after I decided it was a female I asked 2 our our males and they
both told us it was a girl. So i dont know if our Male just got a Little too rough with her or what.
Sometimes they just don't like each other for some reason. We've found that birds who have just reached sexual maturity are often picked on by fully mature birds. Definitely looks like a girl, so I say separate her for a few days and then try again. Good luck!
I just bought two Coturnix Quail that are about 6 weeks old. One looks like the one in the photo but the other one has a gold chest and a black necklace around the neck and a very prominent white "Y" over the eyes. Are they the same breed? I don't know much about quail at this point.
