They did, but after they bred some ridiculous amount they stopped again and now the silverbills are going down the plug hole again
They are working with Javan Munias at the moment and some others which I'm hoping to buy some new Javan blood to put with my old stock

I've gone for the silverbills because they seem easier to breed and suit my budget much more.
Also how do you "vent sex" birds noah?

Hold the bird with the vent up. Blow gently on the area. Observe the difference. Cock more pronounced than hen. But I still get it wrong sometimes.

The hens vent is much closer to the tails, whereas the cocks is much closer to the legs. Blow on the vent and the cocks vent will 'pout' and get aroused, whereas the hens will stay normal and flat.
Takes time to learn but I just sat down with a cage of Black rumped Double bars and learnt from there.
Also, you can sex Silverbills just the typical Mannikan/Munia way by looking at the shape of the lower mandible
