I just saw your reply…does it have red vent feathers by now?

No

No eggs?

No eggs?

No, at least no so far

Have you seen this video?

Charlie says that around 6-7 weeks the vent area of a female is larger as it gets ready to make space for eggs.
The 25 day old tuxedo I got today has red vent feathers although I’m not sure if all male tuxedos do.

Yes, i have seen the video but I don't think I would notice the vent area getting larger. And still no red vent feathers. if I had to guess I think she's a female.

The red vent feathers in tuxedos can be a bit tricky to see if their whole belly is white. If it's a male you may see some red or blue feathers at the edge where the colored feathers meet the white ones, as seen in the male in the pic.

If there's no sign of red/blue feathers I would say that you'd have to wait for an egg or try to figure out the sex by behaviour/noise.

How old is your tuxedo now?

Hi, so I hatched some button quail a few weeks ago so can anyone help me identify what color/ mutation they are? And possibly the gender of them. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Well, as a chicken farmer, I can say that those are indeed quails…………… if I remember correctly, dark brown is called “Rosetta”, and Golden Italian is white with yellow ish markings on the breast. That’s all I know though, I ended up selling my quail because they didn’t act like I thought they would and I wasn’t prepared to be a quail owner.

About 7 1/2 weeks old is checked her agian and there's not a hint of blue or red feathers anywhere.

I just looked at your earlier pics of her and my guess would be that she's a blueface tuxedo. If she doesn't have any red/blue feathers & doesn't crow like a roo then you just have to keep an eye out for eggs now.
