Hi.
I'm in red of some more experienced opinions than my own.
About 2 months ago I got my first two quail girls although I wanted 4 there were only 2 available. I was told I could introduce some new ones when his next batch was ready.
So here we are... a few days ago I brought one 2 new additions who are living along side the older two for the time being while they get used to each other which is going quite well. They have been in a shared run together yesterday and the only issue came from one of the girls being a bit too curious about the new feathers still coming through on a babys back... anyway
The babies look very different to my older girls and i have put this down to not having 100% of their fethring through yet however, i have heard one of my new babies making what sounds like a crowing sound (although I've never had a male so can't be sure) I will try to upload a video and some pics in the hopes someone can tell me if my new girls are actually boys. My intention was to onmy keep hens and thw farmer i got them from says he will take thwm back if they turn out to be male but they are very sweet natured... picture attempts to follow thanks
