Blue faced double factor first possibly, Darth Vader next for sure, and then red breasted. Those are my guesses
Thank you for your help! I’m very excited! It will be neat watching them grow up. Do I have to wait for them to grow up to know if they’re male or female? Can you breed these kinds together or with the white?

Wait longer for genders and yes they can breed together buttons breed in bonded pairs of 2
 
Just saying if you are raising all 3 together and two turn out to be female and you have a big enough space since they grew up together you can possibly do a 2 female 1 male , if not you can still take out the male to breed the other female if you wanted fertile eggs

Ok thank you! I’m hoping for at least two maybe all three females! I have an adult pair of white button quail right now so I’m super excited to have some more types of button quail. If I end up with two or three females can I add one to the white pair when it grows up or would they not get along? What do I get if I breed these chicks together or with the white? Is it just a “mutt” or will it be a different kind? I’m sorry if I’m bothering you with too many questions.

I do not recommend it they have been bonded longer then those have been alive lol, you can chance it but i wouldn't and only when its full grown but its probablya bad idea, and whites basicly lets put it this way white is a resessive gene in buttons that cover up the colors, so they could be any morph and have gene's thst could surprise you but the white is hiding its colors, and incubate like 10 eggs and you should get a general idea of what morphs and genes your buttons have, u till then think of it as a lotto , as for the super dark ones if they turn darth thats a very dominant gene so when it breeds a lot should come out darth or something like it or dark and mixed.
