Hi there, please may I have help to sex these pied birds I have 'on hold' till I get your advice??

Are either of these male?? Im looking for a male for future pairing with my violet hen, but thought maybe these are both female?

 

(sorry I had to use the flash, I know it doesn't help)

 

Pied No.1

 

Pied No.2

 

Pied No.2

 

Thank you so much for any help! )

I am no expert but i think pied no 2 could be male not sure about 1. female as a guess

No 1 is a hen and No 2 a cock.

Wow i actually got it right

Thank you SO much for your help, greatly appreciated!

Update...have now purchased that lovely little male (No. 2) & he is gorgeous...has beautiful violet rump! :)

Thanks so much for excellent assistance!

1# female and 2# male.

Love the pieds, maybe he's split spangle looking at his markings & cheek patches,( mind you I'm only thinking out loud) Is you violet a normal ? Should make pretty chicks.

 

 

 

Just re-read info. apparently he can't be split spangle because it's a dom factor but his chicks may show it if he is carrying it ( I'M STILL THINKING OUT LOUD) l.o.l.

Split spangle ? NO. Carrying it is also the same as saying split. Spangle is dominant. Either one is or isnt.

Thanks so much for the very interesting discussion notes folks....Love it!!!! Helps newbies like me to try & understand a little more!

Yes the hen I want to pair him with later is a normal violet, so Im hopeful of some pretty wee chicks to come in the future :)
