6 new quail hatched

[banty]

hi everyone
as you can see from my previous posts i am fairly new to quail they are quite an accident
i have fallen in love with these little birds and have sucessfully hatched 6 more who are all doing realy well
but i have noticed that some are dark brown and some are yellow they are jap quail i just wondered if this was because they are different sexes or just one of those mystery things
and also if its not a sex thing
how do you determin what sex they are and at what age can a novice sex them

Hi Banty,
The Dark Brown Baby's You Have Got Are "The British Range", The Yellow Ones Will Turn Either White (English White) Or Fawn, The White And Fawn Are Hard To Sex But The Brown Ones You Have Got You Will Be Able To Sex Them At About 6 Weeks Of Age The Cocks Have A Brick Red Chest Where The Females Have Just The Plain Stripey Markings Like The Rest Of Their Body, On The White And Fawn If They Are Cocks They Will Start Shouting At Around The Age Of 6 Weeks And Look Out For The Foam Balls They Produce When They Are Coming Into Mate Or Sexually Active, Hope This Is Of Help To You. ;D
Cheers
