Thanks for the all the advice
Pretty sure who is dad and who is mum but can't be certain.
Rich - I never noticed lighter colour nodules I cant remember but i'm leaning on the the darker nodules. if there were lighter I would have noticed it and made a point to my wife - Just rethinking it no definitely darker... 99% - also yes to your question "definitely offspring of the parents " definitely, only ones that have had babies !! except for the one in the cage now. The other offspring looks like dad.
With dad, and son the is a tinge of blue (darker) behind the red faced suggesting black then ?
The breeder I bought them off had only red face birds and he had plenty of them, plus yellow back with purple chest. I wish I still had his details
Good question females or males ?
Thanks

As has been said, if you are avairy/colony breeding, which many of us do. You can not be 100% sure that the "other guy" did not have a brief liason with mum, or that some other hen did not sneak in and lay an egg. It can and has happened to us all who avairy/colony breed at least once.

Bloody Postman !! thanks anyway - I have a range of variations in there so who knows - but the son is the same as dad so I would think its the same parents though same batch - I have been thinking to have the same "type" in there but I cant choose what I want
