ok so i bought 5 coturnix quail a few days ago, i thought i did a good job sexing them by breast color

i'm afraid i might have botched up and gotten more males then i originally wanted

sorry about the quality of the last 4 photo, my nikon d50 pooped out or something after first shot

gonna get it fixed and take new photo's if anyone needs a better shot

you think really?!

i was going for one male and rest female, i was hoping that i picked right, but i saw the bronze on some of the would-be females and got worried

In the wild they use it to camouflage themselves from predators so it's normal. Sadly, I don't believe there are any in the wild anymore, maybe in Japan...
 
I agree with quaillady and mhwc56....Looks like you will have a breeding colony in a few weeks
