Can you help sex my button quail?

1 (as already established) is a red breasted hen.

2 is also red breasted. Could be a slightly darker female, or it could be getting in the male colour. Pearls are notorious late bloomers.

3 is a little harder to tell from the photos. If you said the tail area was pink, I'd say smoky male.

4 (as already established) is a smoky male

5 looks like a silver female.

6 looks like a female (because of no obvious male patterns), but I'm not 100% sure. The mutation does look similar to a blue face as @Quaicken108 said, but also looks like a very dark cinnamon. Maybe a cinnamon blue face female? That's my best guess.

I'm not as familiar with all the 'fancy' mutations, because we don't have as many here in Australia. The most 'fancy' one I have is a darth vader.

@MyChickCraze, I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head for all of them :)
 
You're lucky mine came out all white and its a button thats like that hardest the sexed isnt it ????
