Here's the thing. The whole point of a BSL is the ease of sexing. At hatch and for up to a week following, the BSL is easily, easily sexed. Black capped head=female, while white cap spot=male. Again, either the seller was ignorant of the ability to sex them easily or knew very well what they were. Too bad. The gold color bleeding through corresponds to the female gold/red leakage on the breast, betraying the Red half of the parentage.
Good news is that at 20-22 weeks, they'll be very good eating. Just let the meat rest in the frig to relax the muscle tissues and allow rigor to release. Great flavor.
