Ignore the last pic - it's a duplicate and I was having trouble removing it for some reason so I just left it in. Thanks!
Edited to add: Although it is clickable and the other is not.

Thanks again guys. The suspected blue and white boys have been sold. I would have kept them longer but we're tight on space. Just have the black boy left. I'm worried that one of my leftover blues is starting to get a pinker, larger comb now. If I get two girls out of six I'll be happy, but three would be nicer.
