Sexing button quail

[Cherlyn]

I have two button quail. I know one is a male and I think the other is female, but need to know how to find out for sure. More info and photo in Breed/Gender? thread. Any tips on how to sex him/her?

All males will have a red vent feathers (on their bottom around the vent) These maybe pink in silver birds. EXCEPT birds with white vents. White birds are harder to sex including Tuxedo and all white birds. White birds can be vent sexed if you are good at that or by behavior usually.

sexing by the vent feathers is the easiest way, you will also find females to bigger and rounder, also males make a sound that is like a strong wind blowing though a door or darth vader breathing lol.
