Hello;
I have a male white faced cinnamon split to pearl, pied. My female is pastel faced split to white and pied. Their babies one is grey faced flight wings no dots from body to middle and none on ends. None of them have orange or yellow. Feet grey and pink. Second baby is White with brown and tan. Feet pink with white toenails. White flight feathers very few exceptions tips an middle. Under don't see any white dots yet. 3rd baby a little bald grey face with white. Crest grey and white.tail has oblong white spots nails some pink and others grey. Has dots under flight feathers. Tail has pattern and dark ends. They are all 3+ weeks a few days will be a month old. I know that either pearls or pieds have bald spot that covers up. I think dad and mom have some lutino also. How else would the second baby have white toenails and pink feet. Please let me know if you can tell me the sexes. I keep hearing about them being female. However could baby 2 mostly cinnamon and white face be male from the start Crest and face all white. Thank you
 
The 1st baby sounds female for not having the spots and the second one sounds female. Not 100 percent sure though.
Thank you so much. I didn't want to be a breeder. I wanted a male for my other female she's yongy and I wanted Lilly mom to experience motherhood. She had a rough life. She was cage bound and bit everyone. I brought her home and worked with her everyday she's come a long way.Was a great mom until recently she pecks their feathers. So she is on supervised visitation and doesn't sleep in same cage as them. It breaks my heart. I'm scared to teach them how to eat and fly etc..
Thank you so much. If anyone has any pointers will be very helpful. It's like I had them constantly watching and helping.

they not earring on their own yet? It has been years since I’ve had parrots. If they are eating on their own you can separate them at any time, they will instinctively know how to ne birds. :). If they are not, you will have to let her feed them or you will need to syringe feed. Not hard as they will have the feeding response but better if mom can wean them.

Post pics!
 
With your pair you can nest sex all your chicks, any cinnamon chicks are females and any non cinnamon are males, so #1 and #3 are males and #2 is a female. sounds like 2/3 are defiantly visual pieds.
