Thank you!! I'd love to know if my hopes of having a girl are crushed now! haha why won't it tell me?!?! Do females get some iridescent feathers too??

 

[zazouse]

Yes they do.
Here is a young male and a female, i am not sure of her age, she is way behind in size for the color she is, i can only guess that she is 4 or 5 months old by her color, she is the size of a 2 month old as are some of the others, hopefuly she will catch up she has already got most of her feathers in just needs some on her back.

Peyton and Penelope are 7 wks this week and we are still taking bets on sexes... for sure Peyton's a boy.. but is Penelope a girl? the saga continues!

Here's Mr. Peyton











And finally Miss(?) Penelope...












And the pair...

Post #68,,2 weeks ago I predicted Penelope to be a hen,kinda a definate hen probabilty now.They were 5 weeks old then? I see a Mogan David concord extravaganza over this.Got a new vessel of the "grape"and need any reason possible to let it breathe and this is as good as any.

If that little bird is really, truly, 100 % hen there will be plenty more bottles poppin!! I guess I'm still really hung up on the whole barring. I guess I'm mentally hung on the fact its not disappearing as fast as I want.
Peyton as multiple green feathers someing in and Penelope has just a few. Have you noticed the boys are more talkative?

Going by the last picture I say both are hens. Males have more then one bar per feather, hens have one bar
