Still having a little trouble sexing

[John Sanders]

Is the bird front left a female or male?

Thank you

Male

Thanks. I thought so but with spotted tan and white I wasnt positive. Hes been with the left over males for 2 days now.

You can sex them by looking at their cloacas the males have a bald spot and if you gently press on it white foam might come out of their cloaca

Females do not have this bald patch

I'm really new with quail and that confident handling them yet. I've had chickens and no problems, it'll be the same with quail I'm sure.

You can identify him as a male because he has a dark chest without spots and a dark brown face.

On the first page of the "quail hatch along" thread there is a very nice illustration for identify the gender of coturnix japonica quails ...
