Yes 3 purples, white is hint of being split white or pure pied.. if don't know parent colors/genetics, can be impossible to tell until breeding. And that's a silver pied too.

A bit young to tell yet, it's mostly the feathers that come off the back and neck that helps with sexing.. 1 and 2 seem to have minimal markings so far, MAYBE females, and 3 has markings so maybe male, but really best to wait until feathered out more and show patterning just like on Phage and Deerman's pics.

Chicks seem healthy!

Thanks, for your help.

I really just wanted to make sure that they were the right colors.

Sexing can wait. I will update when they get a bit older.

Thanks for your help.
