So I'm guessing the lighter beak is the DF male? I'll have to look at the Bumble bee baby photos but thinking he had the lighter beak like a hen normally would...

Lighter beak will be either DF male or Female, but the males tend to be a bit darker in color.

Body or beak is darker in color?

Body, sorry

Beak sometimes, but not always, and same with body - usually PB DF Yellow males have a darker body. I posted a bunch of examples on another thread about this somewhere but I don't remember where...

Congrats, JohnBoy, the YB Gouldians are my favorite. You have a great looking clutch there.

I love your male dilute!!!
Those chicks look like a hen or a DF yellow male on the right. I am no help here

I swear the one on the left looks like my single factor lilac breast back males...kinda of a lemon/limey color. Are they split to lilac or white breast? I thought a picture of the backs would help but I still don't know.
But then again in the last picture it looks like your hen has a lime color to her back too in the last photos. Maybe it is just the shade of yellow they are, I have noticed many differnt shades and intensities of the yellows from one family line to the next.
I am sorry I am not any more help... Maybe Tiffany will come back on here and give here opinion, she goes by beak color of the young. I just haven't been able to tell the light beak hens from the DF males...until they get older. The males will get the blue ring around the head where the hens stay white headed... or else the males start singing and hopping up and down before they color out

After all the yellows I have bred, sometimes I just have to wait it out and see, I have been fooled before, even when I have been give expert advice as to what they are.
I had one that I could of sworn it was a hen... The colors now I think looks like a male...yet never heard ot sing so I still don't know 100%. I'll post pic of it later.
