Ok, buttons~~

Pic #1~~wild colored hen

Pic #2~~splash collored ??, silver male (back), and *looks like* silver female

Pic #3~~silver male and splash ??

Pic #4~~looks like silver male...same as Pic #2?

Pic #5~~under the plant=silver male, right hand side=silver ?, and splash ??

Is the one in Pic #4 the same as Pics #2 (back) and #5 (under the plant)? If not, then you have 2 silver males, one wild hen, and one splash ??.

ETA: It is impossible to tell the sex of the splashes by just looking at them. All 4? 5? of mine look just like that. It would be nice, but I doubt they are all female. I can trade you a splash (male or female) for that wild hen, once they are old enough to tell the sexes.

No idea, for sure, I just call them splashes. The parents were a mixed bunch of splash of various colors - she had some self blue splash in there but, unfortunately, none of mine that hatched had the blue in them.

They may have some gold laced - or maybe gold pencilled - parentage back in there, somewhere, as some of the feathers look gold laced, but not clearly laced, so a splash.

I just went to look at mine, and I know I have one splash male. He has red feathers starting around his vent (underside of belly near tail). I went back and looked at your pics, and it looks like yours has this as well. So that splash is a male. I have 4 splash, and only one that I noticed has the red feathers, but that does not mean that the others are female. They don't 'have to have' red vent feathers, but they can get them. I would love to get your wild hen back, I have 3 wild males, no hens. I think one is a darth vader, and I have a darth vader hen. I'm not sure how I'm gonna work this out, since the cage I'm getting is for a colony. Maybe I'll keep the majority of them in that cage, then put a few pairs in individual pens? Idk, I still have my blue faced male, and no blue faced hen

So the one in pic 4 is the other silver? If so, it looks like a male too.

I'd be happy to swap the wild female back to ya. I'd like to end up with a silver pair and a splash pair, if possible - not sure if that will be possible

, they are hard to look at well enough to sex them. None of them really make much noise, yet, either.

They don't really, nothing like the stupid A&M's I have!

The blue face male I have is 'crowing' and he chirps like a bird for part of it, and the other part is kind of 'darth vader'-like growling! That one will freak you out when you hear it!

Why do they call them "darth vader" ? Is that a color, or just personality
