G'day, welcome to the forum!
My guess would be that your Goldfinch is a hen, but I am not an expert on goldfinches
Thanks

Looks like a hen to me. Though it is quite some years since I had this beautiful species.

I only ran them as pairs, but most cup nesters will work at Trios. So if you have spare hens give the boys 2 and see how it goes.
