Help sexing button quail?

[ButtonNomies]

This is a female of the same genetic colouring, see how rather than solid up in colour they create more breakage in colour? Same parents to the juveniles above. U can start telling the males from as early as 3 weeks when they start "rusting" up with red feathers appearing but the females u have to wait longer and hope they don't rust up later than the others

This next pik is 3 week old Darths. Where u can see theyre all identical tho I do believe 2 of them had already begun to rust.

I really hope this helps not only u but other buttoners.

My "silver squad" all males. Identified by blush feathers around vent for the tux (front right) behind him is a pied silver male, he also has blush feathers. The one on the far back is a white winged silver, also identified male when his blush feathers came in round his vent. And of course to the left is my beauty Max ... his blush feathers are very distinguished
He is a Male silver redbreasted.

This is my female silver. Notice how she isn't a solid colour xx
