Moving juveniles?

We have 3 young OB, probably a couple of months old now (would need to check, but they are starting to colour up a little). I think there is one male and possibly two hens. They are in a mixed aviary with St Helenas, DB, and Stars as well as their OB parents. Is it ok to leave them in there? Or should we take them out? After our traumas with the quail chicks I am a bit wary....

If their happy and have Id rings on them leave them just remove before next breeding or to sell if there's enough room.

Pretty happy other than the occasional peck from DB. Hubby did put ID rings but they all fell off within a couple of days. Will need to try again now that they are a little bigger!

In their size all we have are orange ones, but maybe I can somehow mark them.

One on the right leg, one on the left leg and one with a ring on each leg. Problem solved. Necessity is the mother of invention.
