Female button quail acting like a male?
I took Rex out to a hospital pen so he could recover from his sons bullying him, his sons having been sold now, but... Speckles has been acting unusual.

4 Week Old Gender Differences In Red Breasted
The differences in patterning in a female and male Red Breasted King Quail. The females have 'empty' bibs while the males have 'filled' ones, and the barring on the body and chest is much stronger on the male. Not shown in the pic, but there's some rusty red feathers showing up on the male too.- MageofMist

Preening obsessed quail?
I have a young female quail, what looks like a white cinnamon, who seems to be obsessed with preening not only her own plumage, but also the feathers of other quail. I know she is female as she has the female voice and call. When settling down to sleep she preens the closest quails to her, when...- MageofMist

What colour morph is this button quail chick?
It is too dark to be a white with a more reddish hue compared to the sweetcorn-like white ones I hatched before, and it isn't pale enough to be a silver and it has red lines down it's back...

It'll be fine... I said.
Speckles never sits to full term, I said. It'll be fine to let her sit and have a break, I said... Famous last words. :lau Welp, she has babies now! Last 3 times she went broody, she didn't sit long enough for eggs to hatch, so I wasn't worried this time. Rex and Speckles are both proud...- MageofMist
