Is there any male quail who never crows?

They're going to get more aggressive as they get older. The best ratio is 1 roo to 3-5 hens.

If they've already fought once you should probably start seriously thinking about:
1. How many quail you want (do you want to give each boy a harem)
2. Which boy(s) do you want to keep (if you want to stay with 3-5 birds, you only want 1)
3. What are you going to do with your extra boy(s) (eat, cull, try to rehome) knowing that rehoming a roo is not easy.

I will keep all of them, maybe I will seperate the two boys (not sure 2 or 3, lol). I tried hard to find someone to sell me more girls, but I couldnt find anyone so far.

I've never seen a roo that doesn't crow at all though I've had some that crow very little and/or crow very quietly/politely. If they're also pleasant with the hens I breed them so their sons are nice and quiet.

vent sexing is hard. (my birds like flapping.)

I have a boy who is decently quiet and he has only one female. he's very gentle and the girl he's with doesn't have any feathers missing. she just has a cute little tuft of feathers... it's adorable.

If a roo subordinates to the dominat roo, it is likely that it wouldn't crow.
I once butchered an overdominat roo and the left over, very calm and not crowing roo, mutated to a total macho crowing and "raping" all hens brutally non stop, nearly imeadiately.

Also ended in the pan

Oops, do you still have any roo left? Lol

How cute! Sound like they are a happy couple.

Wow, you make a real family. Actually, that s my goal too. But it seems like I have only boys. Still waiting for my first egg to make sure I have 1 girl.

This video is on Youtube. They crow not as loud as a chicken rooster.
