what sex r these baby gouldians?

Post by kheather » Fri May 18, 2012 10:54 pm

I cant figure out what my 4 yellow babies are...anyone have a clue? I am not sure if the close up bird is same in both pics. Tiffany suggested the males will have a dirtier look, and there are two that look a little darker, they are the two sitting together in the group shot. The yellow's parents are pastel blue male and yellowback hen.Also in the group shot you can see the one dilute male singing, they are so sweet and friendly! two more coming!

They look like yellow hens on my monitor. Have you heard them sing?

Very nice looking chicks :D :D

Beautiful, healthy babies! I have enough trouble with yellows all colored out #-o and will leave the gender speculations to others.

This little dilute looks like he is gonna show a black head, How cool! He would be split blue also! here's close-ups of the other two yellow's, these are the ones I had picked out as maybe boys.I suppose I will know soon enough since they are just starting to molt!! a few feather's here and there.
