Quote:yea i think i remember quaillady saying something to me when i bought my buttons off her, that the whites and the "penguin" ones you can't.... maybe something about they don't have red around vents either... tho i really don't know.
The Splashes and some tuxedos have the red vents. If your tuxedo doesn't have any coloring around the vent I would say hen.
No red coloring around the vent ,however "he" is smaller then my other hens and does have a very strong crow/contact call ,compaired to the hens. He's a blue face ,so he shouldnt have a red vent ,right ??
Ya ,but venting them is no fun They struggle and spaz worse then a coturnix. I did flip him to see his belly and I think I saw foam...
I haven't had buttons give out foam. They are not coturnix so the foam is not an indicator. I looked in my breeder pens, some of my blue face tux males have red vents, others do not. If your cbbq is slimmer and crowing, it's a boy. The vent is smaller than a laying hen which looks more open.
