True, I have some females that have no spots, or only a few, on their breasts. I would bet that #1 is a male by that blush.

Though I am very new to quail - I have just one one-week-old coturnix as a pet - I have been reading and researching every day in order to be more and more informed on how to best raise my little quail. I've also been reading everything I can about sexing a coturnix, especially a chick, as mine is most likely what would be considered a Tibetan and therefore not simply sexed by feathers. I've read a lot about, and listened to, the calls adult coturnix make, but I'm curious if anyone on here as noticed sex-distinguishable sounds in young chicks as well. Any experience, theories, and insight will be much appreciated. Thank you!
