Help identifying button quail chick colors

[Jens Buttons]

I have some four day old button quail chicks that I need help identifying their coloring. These are my first chicks so I'm a newbie. I looked at several websites but the chicks looked so similar I couldn't tell them all apart. I tried to take a picture of the face and back but they are slippery and don't like to be held. I'll post the parents at the bottom also if that helps. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

An interesting challenge! I'll give it a shot, even though I've only ever had wild colored buttons..
No. 1 - Seems darker than a wild colored chick, both the legs and in different places on the body where my wild colored ones had light areas. Therefore, my guess would be Blue face.
No. 2 - Red breasted pied? Or normal pied?
No. 3+4 - Cinnamon pied? I don't see any cinnamon in the parents.. But I'm not properly into quail genetics, they might be carriers of the gene..
No. 5 - Looks like a Cinnamon to me
No. 6 - Red breasted pied?
No. 7 - Red breasted? It is very even and somewhat light in color, compared to the pic of a striped red breasted chick I'm looking at, so I don't really know..
No. 8 - Pied
No. 9+10 - red breasted? Perhaps something pied? 9 is probably white winged.

This is the site I'm getting pics from: http://www.featheredobsessions.com/Chick_Identification.php

Please do post new pictures of all of them in 5 weeks or so, so we can see what the final colors are!

The problem with sexing buttons before 8 weeks is that they'll grow in feathers that will often change colors in their first adult molt which happens around 8 weeks.

Thank you for the help. I will post more pictures in a few weeks when they get bigger.
