I don't know anything about gendering quail, but they sure are pretty!

and taste good too

If I remember correctly, the bib (area directly under the beak on the front of the face and neck) is white on the males.. so Courtnix 3 is a male, and the bibs on the females is buff or tan as seen in the others..

i just hatched a couple pharoahs eggs the adult males had the darker color and the females seemed to have a more agressive with human interaction. you can also feel the pelvic bone and if it seperates farther apart from what it is then it's a female the babies are so small

cuutteee. Thanks for the comments everyone. #2 has been crowing, so I know that one is definitely a male, but no peeps from the others, so I am hoping I lucked out with like 1.3 I am thinking that #1 and #2 are the same type, just different sexes, #4 is like a normal, and I have no idea what 3 is.

thanks again

normally the males are much prettier as far as birds go, we use to raise californian quail and some bobwhites....they look similiar to bob whites but im pretty sure they arent lol sorry i couldnt indentify them for you, atleast you know what they arent now lol oop i take that back the last one does look like a bobwhite as far as sex goes its kinda hard to tell....id lean towards a female

i dont know about quail, but you said only one was singing right? only my male doves make any type of noise practically, so it might be the same.

Wish I could help you out, but all I know about quail is that Medusa and Satan think they're tasty... and somehow I doubt that's the kind of help you're looking for. LOL

Do males have spurs?

	Spurs A pair of claws on each side of the cloaca which assist in mating. A spur is much more defined on a male
