At least, Goldie is the right sex, although I suspect she's a little too young to breed.
I've managed to get two new rosa bourkes, which are supposedly hens. But the fact is you can never be sure with these colour mutations. I would have preferred normals, at least then you can tell with the under wing stripe on the hens. I got them from a pet shop. Not something I would normally do, but it would be hard to get anything off local breeders at the start of the season. I've now split Rockey and Rosey (I'll have to think of a new name) with each of the new 'hens'!....let's hope I don't have to resort to DNA testing again.
