Sexing tuxedo quail chick

[Majak5]

Someone gave me a 3 week old tuxedo quail and I need to know the gender of it ASAP, does anyone know how I can sex it or maybe you can tell the gender from the pic, I’m happy to send other pics if needed

You'll need to wait for it to mature at 6-8 weeks as this color can't be sexed by looks. Once mature you can 'vent sex' it - if it's a male, foam will come out when you push around the vent.

Ok, wasn’t sure if there was an earlier way to tell the gender of my little Noah

You'll want to get more as soon as possible. Quail are social and shouldn't be kept alone.

i agree to all previous posts. just curious, is he/she a pharaoh or tibetan tuxedo?

If it's a male it may crow before you need to vent sex.

Its a tibetan tuxedo and I have a motherly female quail in with it until it’s old enough to join the ones outside

So, I have a female that I thought was a male....SHE is now 8wks old. Vent checked & no crowing either.

Male: the dark coloration on the cheeks is an indication. Male coturnix have lighter chests and more white.
