None of those look feather sexable except for the fourth one. Depending on age, that one looks like a hen, but they can take up to 8 weeks to develop full male colours from what I've seen.

I would like to correct you on that one @Nabiki. Except for the ones with a white belly, all buttons are feather sexable. And of the white bellied ones, some of them are as well. So at least 6 of those are feather sexable, but either the pictures don't show it or they are too young to sex yet.

The easiest thing to look for is a rust red color around the vent. Usually it starts developing at around 2½-3½ weeks of age and should be clearly visible from the side at 4-5 weeks of age. In the silvers it's more of a pale salmon color, but it's still there.

Give them another week or two, then several of them should be sexable.

If they have rust or salmon at the vent, they're males.

If you're asking what the colour variations are, I'm not sure of the names, sorry.

Cute quail! But from my experience I'm really no help here, sorry. All I know is that one day my roosters started crowing and the hens just starting henning much more and its been more or less since.

#1, #9 and #11 are silvers, #2 and #3 are probably red breasted #4 is normal or golden pearl #5 and #10 probably red breasted tuxedo, #6 seems to be silver tuxedo, #7 and #8 looks white. #12 some kind of tuxedo, but I can't really tell the back color from the picture. #13 either silver, white or silver tuxedo, can't tell from the pic.
There might be more mutations involved in each bird than the ones mentioned here, but that should show as they age.
