Do I see a purple hen? purple/green band?

Do I see a purple hen? purple/green band?

I hope so! If none of the purples are girls, that would mean I hatched ALL males. I would be very happy if the green banded one is female.

I'm so torn. I don't want to accidentally sell a female because I desperately need girls, but I also don't want to NOT sell a male while I have the opportunity. Ugh. It's the purples that get me, I just cannot tell. And I know I saw a picture of male and female purple peachicks side by side somewhere, but I cannot find it to save my life.

Okay, really last call. Someone is coming to get this one in 20 minutes if it's a male.

Edit: Oh heck I'm just gonna keep it, I guess. I'll sell them the definite IB Pied male that they were also taking. I'll hold onto the purple for now.

And here's the green banded one too, for comparison:

I'm leaning toward just getting them DNA sexed at this point, lol. I'm almost thinking they're both males, which would mean every single chick I hatched was male

My only purple experience is with the one hen I hatched 18 months ago.

I asked on a peafowl group on FB, and so far I have one person that says both are males
