Quail genders

[Ozarkhomesteader]

These are italian quail (correct me if i am wrong, i have only ever raised pharaohs) and i was wondering if you could sex them by their feathers like the others. There are just 2, i got them with a group of a&ms from a friend. Thanks!

Hansel, lots of speckles








Gretel
not many speckles

Yes you can sex the italians by their chest feathers like you do with the pharaohs. The top pictures look like a hen to me and the bottom picture looks like a roo. Hope that helps.
