Question about sexing

[bandbaustin]

How do I sex blackshoulders, I have a guy that is selling some blackshoulder chicks for $40 but I really want a male as I believe his are all related so don't want a pair from him. How can I be sure I pick out a male from him? Thank you.

at 3 months the males will be darker on the back.
