I need some help.
My CFW finches have 5 chicks.
I’m trying to figure out the sexes. I think I have 3 males and 2 females. But I’m not quite sure of one of the ones I think is a male. I’m pretty sure #1,2 & 3 are male. I’m pretty sure #4 is female. #5 is the one I’m not sure of. It seems like it might have slight cheek patches.
I’m going to attach some photos and I’d like to get you opinions.
Thanks.

These are the parents.

IL UNsure number 5 has a yellow sort of colour like a cheek on her face but doesn’t look full

They’ll be 7 weeks tomorrow.

hello Michdrz,hello@Fraza
Michdrz are you sure that male is the father ?!
bird n#1 and #2 look like to be Light Back wich is impossible ?! or it s an optic effect , they're so much melanic in comparaison with others siblings ,also all tear drops are reduced may be split for BB or split for OB family

and this one http://www.finchforum.com/download/file.php?id=41989 with is posture looks to be a cock

Yup. Lol. The birds marked “mother & father” we’re the only 2 birds in the cage before the babies.

The first pic (5) ? Looks like a male. Have you heard any of them sing?

The two gray males are trying to sing. The others I haven’t heard much out of. Why do you think #5 is male?is it because of the light patch?

If they are singing then they are probably male

The first baby zebra finch pic you posted shows a cheek patch coming through. Is this the one you are unsure about? as I would assume it to be a male ? If it is pied then that would be why you cannot see much of the cheek patch.

I’m questioning #4 & 5. Can a male have a really light cheek patch?

Yep I think number 5 is a male not a female haha because it’s patch but the only thing is sometimes white ones do have yellowish feathers so it’s unsure but am still gonna say male
