I didn't split them down the back, I did them pretty much the way I would do a chicken.
also, the two males, the ones who crowed, had testes inside. The one who had what looked like the undeveloped eggs you find inside a pullet did not. I did not say there were two, there were hundreds of tiny dots in a stringy-spongey matrix.
I am absolutely certain 2bands was a hen.

My bad!

It's just the first time I cleaned a coturnix roo, I thought I got the sex wrong when I saw what I thought were eggs.
I misunderstood what you were saying.

It's cool. No biggie.

Ditto, I don't think I've ever met a rooster who only crowed in the morning.

Emeril Lagasse's recipe for Bacon Wrapped Bourbon Glazed Quail was my answer to a cage of males crowing all hours of the day and night....wonder where i can find another bunch of male jumbo coturnix?

Oh wait...I think there is one in my barn....

I invented my own Bacon-Wrapped quail recipe.... It was soooo good! ...might be worth it to look Emeril's recipe for future reference, though.

ZayLinda - I just read this entire thread and laughed so hard! That was hilarious. I'm sorry for the crowing driving you crazy but you described it beautifully and then when you spoke about just finishing cleaning up after some culling and then you heard the other bird crow, I thought I was going to bust a gut. Thanks for the laugh. (still chuckling)

Try having two male buttons in your bedroom.... I only had 1 female in there and they never stopped day or night... I feel your pain
