I was given this quail today, and was hoping for a girl, but the owners weren't really sure. They have only had her for a month, and this bird has laid no eggs. They have another hen, and the two were fighting, so they had to separate. I don't see the bib that says male, but would love some more experienced opinions. Thanks!

I believe it's a hen.

Not all cbbq males have bibs. But it does look like a blue face or cinnamon blue face hen you got there

How exciting! That will make my Silver male very happy. He is such a flirt, he offers me food when I go in there. I'm taking it slow there though. I do realize that some males don't have the bibs. Especially the white ones. That's why I wanted to ask here. Thank you so much.
 
It looks like a blueface button quail, they don't get bibs. But it seems to have some blue on it's face/head? Does it? If so it's a male, if not it's a female.
