What Color is This Button?

[Stellar]

The golden one looks like a cinnamon. Possibly a girl

Buddy is a boy

I'd like to know that, too.

I have my first 7 still together in one large cage. At this point, there is absolutely no sign of any conflict. I have 3 definite males, and the rest I can't tell. Will they become aggressive to each other as they reach sexual maturity? Or, being all raised together, will the possibly be ok to keep together if they have enough space to spread out a bit?

Also, they are 5 weeks old now. I am getting a lot of feathers shed. I think it's normal -- I checked a couple of them, and they are full of pin feathers coming in, so I assume it is a normal moult into adult plumage?​

Eventually you would want to separate them into pairs since button quail are monogamous.

I think I'll will take Buddy out of the pen, and put him in a pen by himself. Since he is kinda friendly he'll be my pet!
