The two on the top are blue bars although I heard that the baldheads white should not extend past the beak when you put their heads against their neck.
Is the red colored one Indigo.
The Baby is a red bar i'm not sure if its recessisive or Ash Red though.

The red colored one shown on the nest, I have no idea what color it is.

It doesn't exactly look ash red because all the pics I've seen show a bird with a white base and red wings. This bird is blue based with red wings.

So you're saying they have too much white on their breasts? That's okay, I still like them

The male baldhead is lighter in color than the female, does that mean anything or is it just a variation to blue bar?

ok, so any guesses as to what i have there, as said by someone but i forget, and they usually have alot more red you cant see from the light of pic and the moulting were theyre pulling out the red feathers a lot more to try to nest. i broke down and separated them with a nest, as afraid the one would pluck himself bald trying to court the other one. the one with thick eye ring was mature i think when got, rest were still too young, but now its plucking itself parading around the corners and anything remotely like a nest it can conceive, while the other would sit/hunch/lay close/next and watch or coo, or try to get in corner or nest, till i kicked its butt out, and take the nest out (i thought they built flimsy cruddy nests? as these are like little elves made them).

All of the ones above are less then 25 days old when the picture's were tooken.
AOne ogf my hens that suposobly flew away is at a neighbors house, rolling I need to get her.
 
Hi Everyone,
I am thinking about getting some rollers. How do you take care of them? Could I let them fly around or would hawks get them?

ETA: Could they live with a hen and some chicks?
