What kind of quail...?

[IcarusSomnio]

I bought 12 Quail from a local guy, along with cage, feeder, and waterer. I put them in my brooder (large, has a heat lamp) and they dust-bathed for a good half hour or so. Happy little birds.

Anyways!
I don't know what kind they are. They're mostly white, with a spot of brown on the back of the head. Some have another small spot, some have white beaks and some have dark beaks. No eggs that I've found yet, I'm not even sure which are girls and which are boys!

I'll get pics once my camera is charged, thanks in advance guys

Do they look like this? If so those are English Whites. He is a little dirty in this pic.

Pretty much! 'cept mine have a bit bigger spot and seem smaller than yours. I heard one making a very pretty sound...I gotta look up how quails crow, 'cause I haven't a clue

I vent sexed to the best of my ability and marked the ones I thought to be boys and girls. We'll see how correct I am as they get older
