They are all coturnix, which is a chinese species.

The first one is a rosetta tuxedo (tuxedo is because of the white on its breast).
The second is the color english white.
Third is also a rosetta tuxedo
Fourth is a rosetta.

You can keep all of them together, they are just different variations (colors) of the same species.
It is impossible to tell from a picture what sex these last ones are, you'll have to wait and see who lays eggs and who crows, unless you can vent sex them

monarc23 has a video on here somewhere about how to vent sex mature quail, that would help.
 
They are sex just like the others males will be much darker on the throat and breast, now the whites will need to look behind the vent the males will have a red ball.(only breeding age under proper light).

The tuxedos, rosettas, tibetans, and whites can not be sexed like that. The only ones that can are the browns goldens and cinnamons.

LIKE I SAID--- START LOOKING UP SKIRTS.... SHELLEY'S RIGHT ONLY BROWNS AND GOLDENS CAN BE COLOR SEXED.

Well I start sexing the tibetan by color in 1964, DISAGREE any color coturnix can be sex by color. Not white,but thats a lack of color. Wish I still had some could post pics of different in males and females. All male coturnix get darker in that area. ALL.

Easy to sex breeding male by checking for the red ball behind the vent.
