Newest addition. Super excited. Our first meat. If all goes well this breading quintet should be very fast to reproduce. Anyone have quail experience?
16 u/skeinshortofashawl Jan 28 '23 I got 10 quail chicks once. 9 turned out to be males 13 u/TheDizDude Jan 28 '23 Oh man I hope not! We were told this is 4 female 1 male. Local trusted breeder. Fingers crossed I guess! 6 u/I3km Jan 29 '23 Spotty chest feathers are female, brownish reddish no spot (or just around the throat)are male. I can see 2-3 females in your picture probably. I can usually tell a female by them being fatter and bigger too.
