What gender are my japenese quails ?

I’m just curious they are 2-1/2 weeks old. Thankyou any guesses or opinions please?

That's still a bit young yet but maybe another few days (they change so fast) you'll start to see a difference - usually by 3 weeks you can take a good guess. The pharoah colour all start out with spotty chests then the rusty colour starts to appear on the boys.
Like this - see the little patches of orange starting to come through?:

It soon turns to this:

Females won't show any of that rusty red colour.
