Rosey Bourkes (pink) Difference Male/Female
Question: I have7 Rosey Bourkes w/slighly different mutations my question is how can you tell the difference in sex whereas the normal males have blue over the nose? One of the Roseys has very little gray on and around the face mostly pink could this be a male?

Hens tend to show more brown and grey around their faces. Males tend to be more oink throughout. This isn't always the case but often.

Best way to sex bourkes, especially very young ones is to DNA them.
