My hen Cordon lost her leg ring, having trouble identifying her from the 4 babies. caught all 5 of them put them in a small cage, one had a different colour eye (more red around pupil, the others 4 were brown )and a little darker beak, i think she is the hen is there any way to tell? her and the cock seem to be happy

The babies should have black beaks and the adults dark pink :)

Perhaps you could put them all together with the cockbird and see who he hangs around with the most – and which one pays the most attention to him.
