They are now pecking at seeds which is good And the hen has laid 2 more eggs

Their beaks are turning orangish-red, I was wandering if I should sell them uncoloured (when their independent of course), or should I wait till they moult?
Because I was reading a topic about a week ago that members like buying their birds uncoloured to know for sure that they are young and not old and infertile, but then again if a zebbie is old and infertile you only pay $3-10 for another one.
So what do you guys think sell them uncoloured or wait

I think let them colour up & you may have the best bird you've ever bred among them which could be too good to sell. If you sell them uncoloured, you'll never know.

Already knew that but thanks anyway

All Zebras including parents: GONE
After the Diamond dove babies are independent and the second clutch have hatched and independent all 6 d. doves are going, same as the baby canaries (if the eggs hatch)...........
all to make room for the more interesting birds i.e stars (which are currently in quarantine) gouldians, and Ruddies, and maybe OB's.
All I can say is: I've gotta make the most of the 3 aviaries
