Quail gender help

[Fernan18]

hello,
My husband and I just got some quails. They are about 4 weeks old and we are having trouble figuring out their genders. Some we have idea but would rather know for sure.
Fighting started between a few and we separated the "bullies", this caused feather loss but they are now growing back. We were hoping we could get some assistance identifying their genders!

Can you post pictures or describe the birds? If they're wild type (brown and tan) or Italian (golden, sometimes spotted), it should be possible to feather-sex them.

The ones fighting are probably all the boys, too.

The markings are very unique, I only have this one at the moment. More photos too come

Thank you!

A barred tuxedo something-or-other—beautiful! Sadly, not an easy bird to feather sex. You'll have to wait until the males crow or for them to produce their "foam" so you can vent sex.

My birds are only three weeks old, but let's see if I'm getting this right. I'm cleaning the coop and doing some more work on it, so I took the birds out and separated them by gender (I think).

First pic, roos, second hens. What do you think? Am I getting it?

I can only tell with the two with their chests to the camera, but looks right to me!

I couldn't get them all to pose, but I divided them by breast color. They're pretty consistent. How soon should I expect the roos to start fighting?

Can you tell gender by feathers on falb fee? I know it's too soon for mine, but they grow so fast, so I hope to be able to tell in another week or two.
