I am pretty sure that I have 6 bobwhite males. I also have 9 coturnix all different colors. Can I breed then together? In what ratio?

James and Twocrows covered it but I'm going to add a couple pennies
Bob birds (coturnix bobwhite hybrid) have no purpose that can't be better fulfilled by a pure species. People have suggested to release them for hunting because they are mules (sterile) and won't become invasive however when you have put all that money into raising and growing them you would have been better off raising and releasing the species native to that area. Introduced gamebirds species almost never take hold when released in the wild in the US (ringneck/golden pheasants are the only real success story), most of the states in the union released tens of thousands of chukars each year back in the 50s and 60s and there are only a handful of established populations in the US localized to very small areas.
Cant stress enough that the process required to breed them is not humane and is likely to end in the hen you use being killed or at least severely brutalized by her mate.
