What color are my button quail?

What colors are my button quail and are they male or female? This first one is very dark almost black.

 

[Chris93]

Is this silver or slate or something else?

Are all of these tuxedos males? They all have red on their tails.

Wow, are they beautiful! I'm not sure why I'm seeing this as I don't raise quail but I know a couple of people who could probably help you if it's not too late. @Nabiki @007Sean

The first pics look to be male. I'm not sure what his colour is called.

The second is a silver, but unless there are red feathers around the vent, not feather sexable.

The third pic is full of tuxedos that are also not feather sexable.

Thanks! They are 8 weeks old today and their sexes are obvious now and I’m getting eggs already. I ended up with 6 males and 2 females. The black one I thought for sure was a male but it laid an egg today! After a lot of googling I think the black one may be double factor blue face.

You probably want to take a pair of males and separate them out where they can't see or hear the females. I've had good luck with male pairs getting along as long as there are no females.

I have never seen them this dark, but my guess would be blue faced.

Blue faced. I'd guess male. Are their any red feathers at vent?

Lots of boys!
