Pics would help.
Not all male button quail have bibs. The red color would indicated male. Blue indicates male, but sometimes a certain degree of grey-blue occurs on a female.

Starting to lay eggs at 8 weeks is typical for Buttons, but I have had some that begin at 10 or 11 weeks. They'll probably start in the next month, especially with lots of light. Also, with only a few quail, you might not see much signs of mating, unless you watch them all day long, especially if they've just started
