Posted July 18, 201114 yr 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! )
July 18, 201114 yr I am no expert but i think pied no 2 could be male not sure about 1. female as a guess
July 20, 201114 yr Author Update...have now purchased that lovely little male (No. 2) & he is gorgeous...has beautiful violet rump! :) Thanks so much for excellent assistance!
July 21, 201114 yr 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.

Carrying it is also the same as saying split. Spangle is dominant. Either one is or isnt. Edited July 21, 201114 yr by **KAZ**

July 21, 201114 yr Author 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 :)
