I lost quail #7 picture but I am 100% confident it's a female.

So it looks like I have 3 males and 4 females left in my hutch? I have the 7 I think are male in a separate container with just water to cull tomorrow. I don't want to accidentally cull a female, anyone want to go for round 2?

Also is it typical for the males to extensively harm one another?

 

[feedman77]

I'll try round 2.

Most if mine with head injuries and missing feathers are females from males attempting to mate.

Incoming second set of photos. I believe these are all male.

Most of your are color sexable so far.

Have you ever vent sexed them??
