Help me sex my Coturnix quail

[Epona142]

These are my first coturnix, the poor little five I hatched. They're coming up on four weeks here shortly, so I decided to have a go at figuring out there sexes.

By reading monarc's great post, I know males should get red on the breasts, which one obviously has, but I'm not sure on another one, and the rest I hope are females!

What do you think?

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

Thanks!

#1 girl, #2 girl #3 boy #4 girl #5 girl

Notice that all of the girls don't have the brown on their chest and have spots? You have the perfect amount of females to male. Otherwise they fight like crazy for the girls.
