Oh! What do you think the white-with-speckles one is?

it’s a pearl or “dirty pearl” if starts showing more brownish/italian base color.

Hard to tell in that lighting but if the light spots are yellowish it's an italian, pure white and it's a pearl. In-between I call "dirty pearls"

jinx

My single teenage pearl-fee boy is *mostly* clean but has a smattering of these nutty little tricolor back feathers.

i was telling hubby today that it’s almost time to send my ssc babies into genpop and when I went to do my afternoon chores, over half of them were already “mingling”. I must’ve missed when latching the cage this morning so I gathered up a bunch and did a head count and then saw 1 more as I was exiting!! I got them all back in for a few more days until ground dries! they were a muddy mess!!!

Soil "full of poop and pee" will be hot from excessive nitrogen. Some plants don't have a problem with that but beans which are nitrogen fixing plants do not do well in areas that are really high in nitrogen. It did not seem to bother my tomatoes but definitely killed my beans. I do not know how well grapes would handle a "hot" soil.

I guess we will find out. It’s in a low area in the yard so it tends to be wet in the spring so I’m assuming all their waste leaches out into the yard.

Here is the mostly white one. Can you tell if it’s male or female?

Oh that's funny, he looked way more silver than white in the previous video. Disregard previous theory! Applies to different color.

Hmmmmm. I'm honestly not sure. No foam visible and it's kind of small but also kind of loose-looking. Could go either way. Give it a squeeze next time.
