Can't really be sure of the age other than that it's over four months old having gone through its first moult and lost all its baby bars. Link to comment

Pretty yellow and green pied. I can't pinpoint her age from the photos, especially as pied chicks don't necessarily have bars on their foreheads. Her cere will become tan/brown as she matures. Does she have an iris ring? Link to comment

It's definitely a recessive pied, and therefore won't get any iris rings. Recessive pieds don't necessarily have bars going to their ceres, as Flip pointed out. They also tend to retain those bars into adulthood, if they do have them. So you really can't tell age on a recessive pied, unless it's a hen with a brown cere, and then you only know that it has gone through at least one molt. If this one is still a baby, then there is the potential for the bit of white on it's cere to expand. But many males have some white anyway. So you will have to wait until time passes, and if it doesn't develop the brown cere of a female in condition, then you will know it's a male. Link to comment
