Hen Cock [/quote] Hi Karen....great story, I've never heard of that happening before! I was wondering if you could tell me how you tell the hen and cock birds apart in the pic above....I thought it wasn't possible until the cere developed its colour

Hi Geoff, Both birds are recessive pieds so the males' cere will always be pink or purple in colour. The hen in the top picture has a pale ring around the nares (nose holes) which indicates the cere will change to tan.

I'd love to be able to sex my two chicks that are about to fledge!

I am going to disagree with you karen. These birds are not recessive pieds but they are dominant pieds.. Also the males cere will change to blue because of him being dominant. You are right in saying that the recessive pied male cere does not change to blue but will stay a pink colour like the ino and fallow and some dom pieds, more so in the DF dom pieds. Gefflondon if you put a picture up of your babies we will try to help you and let you know what the sex of your babies are.
