Anyone want to guess the sex of these babies

Jackson is the cinnamon and yellow one and Buttercup is the yellow one. With a little cinnamon on its shoulders. Buttercup has a smaller head and smaller eyes. It looks like its mama sugar. I'm thinking Butter cup is female. & Jackson Male.
The pearl baby is 3 months old it is female pretty sure sunshine is the name

I'm guessing the cinnamon is a male, the pied I have no idea and I think the pearl is a female as well.

My own Sunshine (tiel, not budgie) was also a pearl!

We know that the father is split cinnamon and probably split pearl too...

If the mother is a visual cinnamon and/or pearl, there is no way you can visually sex the offspring.

The pearl baby is not a sibling to the babies

Jackson and buttercup are sugar's babies. But the mama to cj was a yellow pearl. cJ is a gray pied he has a lot of white and yellow that doesn't show on the picture. his belly is yellow i call him a yellow belly sometimes lol

I guess it would help to clarifiy....

Pied male (split pearl and cinnamon) x Whiteface Cinnamon Pearl Pied Female
Jackson - Cinnamon Pied
Buttercup - Pied


I can't really see the pearling on the mother so I'll have to take your word for it...


I'm still confused.... is the parents mutations correct then? And the names/mutations correct for the chicks? All chicks related? And the pearl chick cinnamon or regular? Better pics would help (have any friends who have cameras?)

Sorry just trying to get this all straight.
