Button quail colours

[ButtonNomies]

Hi, I'm new to breeding button quail and this is my first hatch. I got a 50% hatch rate from posted eggs so I'm not too dissapointed.

Babies are now 3 weeks old. Would love some help identifying colours. Plus I can only really identify 2 being hens as they're the wild variety.

I can wait to vent sex though so that's not massively important right now!

Ok here's some updated pike I took while cleaning out their home. I'm thinking I've got a lot of males

Do u have any photos for reference so I know what I'm looking for as I thought it was rusty coloured feathers which the majority seem to have
