Your male is a Manchurian

White (is it a jumbo or standard)- photos can deter size at times. But it can be a Texas  A and M or English White

Then you have an Italian with nice Definitive markings

There is a dark Range (Tibetan) and then next to that a beautiful Italian hen

You then have a Dark Range (Tibetan) Tuxedo staring at you in the last photo. That's a neat photo by the way!

 but if I can't get good sells for them I'll just have to stick to on color too keep my cages open for raiseing my birds to sell vs breeders   the bird in this pic is not as pretty as some i've raised some birds i sold I almost kept to keep that colour going because they were awsome looking had 2 males and 4 females that almost had a cimetrical pattern on them .. broad feathers two wide in a pattern down back one on  left and right side white   dark red/brown out lined feathers like wide pin stripes down back of a white / blonde bird with brown head and real fine white pins on top of head .. but i did not have the means to seperate them from others to keep it goiing and when selling letting people pick what birds they wanted to buy out of the cage they were first ones gone... from what i found I do not know the consistancy in it but seem to me if both parents were the same colour / pattern that every off sping being the same like i said didn't have time to test theory ended up just mixing all eggs together in incubator  might set one of my old foam bators up for such tinkering and maybe try makeing my own strain as to I've never seen birds like mine befor any were around here if and one knows of such colours let me know because if I'm not doing anything different or maybe have something new to offer I'm not gonna go through all the trouble ....  any opinoins good or bad on what I've said would be appreciated and respected ....    thanks everyone

thanks'''''    yeah from all i knew they were all coturnix breed but not sure theres really a difference in any of them their all about the same size but i noticed my reds  ( dark range, or tuxedo) tend to have better ratio to larger birds  I crossed them for a lil while before I ended up with the pretty blondie's  I think that I'm selling all but my red n whites and white have already sold about 200 of them other than what eggs are in incubator and about 150 younger birds i have still mixed colors seperated my colours I really liked these

my post upside down lol read bottom first as for jumbo or not I'm really not sure we were told jumbo but I can't say I ever seen a for sure jumbo  but all colors get about the same size and from what i read the jumbo brown and taxas am white are bigger by far than the other brreds out there so theres a chance there not jumbo's .. I'm gonna see if I have any of those pretty genetics I talk about left and take better pics found out my phone was not on highest setting and lighting was bad but I'm getting ready to take some more and post them...

large breeder hen quail by adult breeder BB red bantam hen

 a few colour scemes  but I don't have anymore with distinctive patters ( pin stripes or red trimmed white feathers in line on back geuss if it's worth the intrest I need to get back on track of breeding for looks..

Beautiful birds there!

Jumbo just means a bird is over 10 oz in weight. If you have a scale you can weigh some and sort the sizes if you are wanting jumbos.

You have all the colors in a colony together are you saying? Are you trying to sort them by their colors?

thanks  for a lil while i did have them mixed up after i gave up on my colors decided they all tasted the same lol and thrown them together to save space only had a few of each breed left .....  that was in the winter not that sales are up a little i decided just to mainly stick with the red n whites  I like them and theirs alot of other birds I'd like to mess with ...
