Thanks guys Does anyone know when princesses develop the eye colour so you can distinguish the sexes? I might need to do some reading tonight so we can choose a name |

I thought with princesses it was colouring around the rump and the top of the head that distinguished them. But hey I could be wrong ;D

Yea That's how we tell the sex " the above the rump thing " I just can't remember how long it took tho. From memory with last year's clutch I think it was just after they were weaned. We hand reared them so it was probably slower than yours being parent raised At the moment ours are about 6 -7 weeks & I can't tell safely yet  |

In my adult pairs the hens have an orange circle around their eyeballs and the cocks don't. sofar the bub doesn't but he/she is feathering up quickly so I'll check out the rump.

Thanks Greg, I'm leaning towards "he" too atm, I suppose he'll need a name soon. He's such a cutie, because I fussed over him in the nest and changed he bedding he's not scared of me so I can pick him up and he'll sit on my arm for a while before flying off. No idea what I'll do with him yet just look at how pretty he is |

It's great when your young birds trust you enough to sit on your hand/arm,the only problem l find hard is selling them..
