What Sex is my quail?

You will definitely want to keep this handsome fellow!!! If you put him in with wild type (pharaoh) hens, you will get sex-link babies with males being pharaoh and hens being Egyptian!!!!! ❤❤❤

I clicked reply instead of like by accident, and now the open reply was stuck here no matter how many times I deleted all the text haha, so here’s the reply this thread demands!

You can put him with Tibetan also, and the same will happen, all reds female all non reds male

So basically, males will be the das breeds, girls will be the moms?

Wait I think I got it, but no, the opposite. The female chicks will look like the dad, the males will look like the mom.

Will any fertile eggs, will males be the same breed at their dad, and will the girls be the same breed as mom?

No. The gene that makes them red acts strangely in females. So if you breed a male Egyptian or scarlet to a pharaoh or Tibetan hen, you can tell gender by color, but only red male, non red female mating. The chicks will not be able to produce more sex link’s as they produce no red males.

yes and you can also mix with italians same way!! the roux-dilute male is key to producing sex-link of different colors

Okay, Thanks! Also, I guess my male quail is sexually matured earlier then i thought. What will happens if they mate, but she hasn't started laying yet? nothing? or will the first egg she lays be firtile?
