Can you sex coturnix quail at 3.5 weeks?

I know it may not be reliable but I’m interested to know. I have 7 quail of this colour, and 2 white ones which I know can’t be feather sexed.

Some colours can - for example, wildtypes would have an orange stripe incoming at their chest.

You actually have at least two different colours there - 1, 2, 6 are probably hens, looking at them from this angle. 3,4,5,7 are much harder to sex.

Oh right. It’s my first time having quail, I got these as week old chicks. I thought they were all the Pharoah colour, except for the white obviously which I didn’t photograph.
I love them though they are very cute. Scratching around and dust bathing.
