Thank you. I am so excited to have them. I know the Lutino is female, but not sure about the other. I surely don't want any babies coming along.

I am guessing that you know the lutino is a female because of the sex linked gene not DNA sexing. If that is true do you know the parents mutations? If they are siblings and the father is a visual lutino and the mother is not then the pied is a male.

Actually, they are rehomes, and the previous owner said the Lutino laid eggs. LOL. I am not sure of mutations yet and will be doing alot of research. They are not related. They are both over 1 yr old. She also said she thought the pied was male because of no eggs. That's why I am not sure of the sex for that one yet. Any ways for me to tell other than DNA?

The only ways to know gender are laying eggs, knowing the parents mutations (sometimes) and DNA or SS.
