Button quail sexing

Can someone please help me to tell if these are male or female? All three pictures have them in the same order but each one has a better shot of each one individually. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like 3 boys to me! I gotta say I love how they each lifted their head up one at a time <3

Thank you so much! Gotta get them some girls now. They’re scalping each other

I got some more that they said were likely females. Can you guys tell me if the lighter color ones might look female?

The light colored ones with the patterning on them (the black spots and 'stripes') are females, I'm not sure about the grey/silver tuxedo though

Agreed. The ’patterned’ ones are females, the ones with bibs are males and the tux I’m unsure sometimes they show male feathers so I’m saying female but it could be male. @Nabiki @Quailobsessed I wish I owned tuxedo kings/buttons!

Oh, thank you guys so much! I was worried that I’d get more males and they would fight but these all seem to be getting along. I had to rehome the male that was scalping all of the others.

I might be wrong, but I think Button Quail aren't really meant to live in coveys. They like to live in pairs so I suspect that more females won't make the fighting subside unless you separate them out https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/the-dos-and-donts-of-button-quail-cbbq.424352/
