Gender? One boy and one girl... we think?

@izigg
You'll need to post pictures of all four of the light colored birds for us to give an accurate answer.

However, there is no such thing as a light colored Indian Blue Black Shoulder male (except when they are quite young, which your peas are not).
Indian Blue Black Shoulder males always look something like this:

Just like your Indian Blue peaboy, but with dark wings instead of barred wings.

Again, it will probably help clarify these differences for you if you take a look at the Image Database:

Are you saying all white black shoulders are females and its just a term. Sorry I just don't know enough about them.. What do you call a white male and how do you recognize one at two yrs old. I know at three males start to grow trains , not yet there and lacking of knowledge obviously, thanks for any help with my confusion.
 


















The male wondered in a made me his pet, the girls I got 2yrs ago to shut him up, they were all pure white and then 2 turned and hence part of the confusion for some one who opened a whole new can of worms, which also is not good for these birds to eat I also learned and can kill them if not treated which others have also been helping me with, thank you all for the help. as you can see his majesty on his throne in the summer, lucky for him I use a woodstove and never the fireplace. Although I had to paint my vent stack flat black as he decided to attack it and almost knocked off the roof and dislodged it from its base, never a dull moment with these birds.
 
If I understand correctly, you have one 6-year-old male and four other 2-year-olds that you are asking about, right?

Looking at the photo you sent:
 
Thanks, that still helps explain more and the illustrations are great ! Not knowing anything when I got the chicks I thought I had 1 or 2 males when they stayed white and was going to have to get rid of them, but as long as both these white birds are females then I have no worries. Glad to have found this site and finally get some help, thanks everyone. I will post up some pics of any chicks happen by next.
