I dont suppose anyone can sex them They all get on great not a peep out if any of them , and I love them all I still spend hours watching them

My husband made this habitat for them When I knock out the heat they all act as though they are freezing and all huddle together its at 65 degress cause they are fully feathered but they prefer the heat , Im in Dublin so weather is not the best x

Nice I'm also currently raising buttons. A piece of advice would be to clip their wings as soon as possible because they are great fliers and are almost impossible to catch them after they escape. Heres one of mine that hatched a couple days ago.

As for sexing its quite hard at this stage. If any of then start growing brownish red feathers on its belly, it will most likely be male. Also, at around 10 weeks or so the males will start crowing which sounds like a rasp.

By the looks of them, i think they're all female except the first one which I'm not too sure.

Wow I've never had a natural colored female, every single natural colored quails that I've hatched have all been males.

1 is female, 2 looks suspicious maybe a late bloomer and 3 and 4 also look suspicious under their head but I think that they’re both females.

Really hard to tell by the pics, also a little too young to tell, with that having been said, they all look like hens to me.

I am praying they all stay getting along together just so i can keep them together, I dont mind what they are I just love them , raging I didn't do this years ago it was a brilliant experience from waiting on eggs to hatch to now 6 weeks old , they are so active and such busy little birds , curious and funny ,
I spend hours just watching them
I wont clip their wings because there not flying at all compared to when they were smaller, and i just close the room door before I open their habitat door.
Its so much easier to put your hand in from the front where they can see you so they are not like popcorn anymore lol

Heres me outdoor birds , I have one rescued polish hen 2 years now , and the rooster is a pekin bantam that i hatched from eggs i got in the post 3 years ago , so in another few weeks im getting 2 ex battery hens and going to hatch some polish or silky eggs
