1 month old japanese isabelle coturnix quail.
Do you think this is a male? I don't know if it's too soon to tell, but today it started making some loud noises.
I have two quails and one of them I already know it's female, but the other one I still don't know. It's white so it can't be feather sexed. Today it suddenly started making loud noises. I am wondering if this is crowing? (see video at the beginning) I have never had quail, so I don't know. The sounds of crowing I found online are very different. This one has always been more vocal than the female, like it's purring most of the time, making soft noises. But now it has made this loud noise as well. I think it got triggered by hearing some chicks sounds on a video. It did it repeatedly but after a while went quiet again. It has also started having some random pecking sprees behaviour as oppossed to the other one.
I also took a photo of its cloaca in case you can tell from there.
