help sexing button quail and pic!

[Ugo]

Hi, i bought some button quail eggs from stellargamebirds on july. 8 of the hatced and all are still alive, i got a lot of males, 6 males 1 female and a unknown, they are 8 weeks old today. The only female i know for sure is a female its my red breasted female who has been laying eggs for almost 1 week now. the other one im not 100% is i think a silver pearl female? she has not layed any eggs yet and doesnt have red vent feathers and i have not seen her sing like the males do. please help me confirm if the 1st photo of the silver one is a male or female. thanks!

silver pearl female or male?

my red breasted female

my red breasted male or is he blue breasted?

this 2 Cinnamon Red-Breasted Male i think only get along with each othere, they even bite the females

so they live alone togather.

i also have 2 Red-Breasted Golden Pearl males and 1 white male, you can sort of see one in the 1st pic

Awwww! I never get to see photos what I send out sadly

Thank you for posting!

The first photo is a Silver Red Breasted Hen

The photo next to your Red Breasted hen is a Red breasted male, the Red extends up nicely to confirm that.

And sometimes males will love each other...I have some male-male pairs...Just like the human world, the button world is similar

#1 is a silver redbreasted female
#2 is a red breasted female (left) and what looks like a golden pearl (could be wild or red breasted but looks like he has 'pearling') male (right)
#3 looks like a wild (blue breasted)\\
#4 2 Cinnamon males (to my knowledge all cinnamons are red breasted) but the one on the right looks like a cinnamon pearl.

It is possible to keep 2 same-sexed birds together, they do just fine. I actually have several males together and they don't fight...no girls though

Totally off topic, but those are some amazing photos

In my experiences, quails don't stay still long enough to take pics-
It that just mine?

Very pretty birds
