If they were recently breeding then the females can seem to produce foam when vent sexed.

I would separate and watch for the one that lays a egg or crows.

Yes, that's what I was saying when she got all defensive. I sugest you do some research before buying anymore birds.

I sold a hen with a bald neck, and she was with a male, but OK

I will try that!

Over mating is bad. It leads to stress, horrible egg production, bad health, and shorter lives. That bird is most lkely a hen, notice the ruffled back feathers? Well that could just be you squeezing it. That has the face of a rosetta I think. See the cinamon bib? I usually don't get that on Tibetians...

the Second photo is of the British range coloring (rosetta)
can not see the first photo very well.

That is from aggressive males or over mating. I have done some expierements and it seems like 5 or 6 is the magic number of hens to a rooster. Good fertility and good looking birds.
