How do you tell the gender of quail?
Thanks!Depends on the species. For japanese quails, some colours can be feather sexed, others need to be vent sexed.

I’ve only had 1 solid color bird develop white eyebrows, unfortunately they usually seem to fade when the yellow fluff gets replaced. Yours has some tux it seems, so it’s totally possible to develop a sort of masked look, which Ive found is more common than just eyebrows in my birds.
statistically overall, red chicks have a higher chance of being female because a female only needs one copy of the gene to be red, while a male needs 2. Do you know what the parents of the chicks looked like?
Instead of eyebrows, he’s got spectacles very cute.Just an update, not quite 'eyebrows' but close! This is Pecan.
