Pop Quiz: How many boys and/or girls?!

I bought a creamino hen last winter. She will be a year old in October... time to line up my juvenile Shafts and try to figure out who will be her lucky mate. If I have any males in this group - they will be split to creamino.
So... what do you think - do I have ANY males in here at all. I'm posting a lot of pics all taken tonight as (to me) their bib sizes change depending on their stance. Crouched, they look big and wide. Standing tall, the bibs seem a little smaller. Help!

I Agree ! The boys have a little bigger bib and a little darker beak!
Pay atention to their behavior! They will reveal their singing skills

Beautifull Finches you got there! Put them at work !

Liz, they are all so beautiful!!!
I would take her and put her into a cage with them one at a time. I promise you if they are males, the singing will begin.
My little pair of siblings that just had two babies....

the male has been singing from the get go and the cream never did sing. I was convinced it was a male even though it didn't sing. That shaftie singing is a dead give away!! Good luck!
