Pictures 2 and 5 are female the rest are male. The females have spots on the breast and the males have that rusty color. #3 also has the solid brown head. You can also sometimes tell by body shape. Females are more round and typically larger while males are more bullet shape. @Nabiki can explain differences in facial markings between male and female.
I would also encourage you to practice vent sexing from 5-6 weeks once you have them separated. This will be useful if you ever hatch a non feather sexable bird.

Yes I want to learn how to vent sex them i can vent sex ducklings but I was told by the guy I bought them off they had to be 8 weeks old before doing
He said the males will put out a white foam and the females won't? But then I heard u could sex by the colours on some of them

I plan on raising a lot of quails for eggs and meat so I want to be able to tell as soon as possible so I can separate males and females

The fastest way to tell gender is to breed/hatch sex-link. The easiest combo for this is egyptian male x pharaoh females. Resulting chicks will be egyptian females and pharaoh males.
While males will not always crow or produce foam until 6-8 weeks, you can see the difference in vent anatomy as early as 5 weeks.
Ƒeather-sexable colors can typically be sexed at 3-4 weeks
