Color identification for Coturnix please!

[generaldsherman]

can anybody help identify the colors? the larger, dark brown should be just "jumbo"/wild color, right?
What about the lighter birds? Any way to tell gender by color?

First time "quail-mommy" here.

The darker brown ones are the pharaoh/wild colour, the lighter ones with darker flecking are Italians (and they look to be a pair) and then there's the white one. The wild and italian colours you can sex by looking at their chests. The girls have spots on a lighter background, the boys have a rusty coloured chest with no spotting. Occasionally you can get a boy with a spotty chest but there will still be the rusty colour underneath that indicates a male. The white one you will have to wait and see whether it starts to crow or lays an egg.

They are really easy to vent sex (without hurting them). Just google it.
