Wow - they look good! I wonder how much colour they will grow into? Do you have pics (again?) of the parents?

Gorgeous! So they molt into their adult plumage at a very early age? That is wonderful that you can sex them so young.

I has extremely lucky with the very first nest but Nest 2 - Was the complete opposite! This time round 3 young fledged and as follows

2 Fawn hen/pied
1. normal cock/fawn and pied.

Here are the two fawn hens at about 9 weeks of age. Unable to get a photo of the young cock bird as he is too flighty.

Stay tuned! Nest 3 is only days away from emerging from the nest. Lots of begging going on - so might have another 3 birds to add to my collection.
This has been a very good breeding pair and all 6 young are getting along well

nest 1.
2 heavy pied normal cocks
1 fawn pied hen

Nest 2,
2 Fawn hen/pied
1. normal cock/fawn and pied.
