So we've had our 6 quail now for quite a while and I still can't tell how many males we have.
The first 4 are 11 weeks old, the other two are 9 weeks. I've been getting one egg a night predictably for a few weeks now, but only ever 1.
I have tried vent sexing them all, and I have one producing foam, one that is noticeably stretched compared to the others which I assume is my egg layer, but the other 4 are still mysteries. They all have no foam, no eggs, nothing saying for sure male or female to my very untrained eye.
What is the oldest you've seen a male not producing foam and very easy to vent sex? At this point with no foam am I firmly safe to assume the rest are female and just not laying yet?
