I'd say the green is male and the other two are females

Thanks for the advice I've been getting mixed responses. Just been told by someone else they are all Male. So confused 😂

They are definitely not all male.

Agree with Marianne 100% - from left to right: hen, hen, cock. All beauties, but your normal green is your only boy.

Thank you! I've just bought a new budgie today, I was told it was a young Male, just want to confirm please, and also its cere looks very crusty, is this normal?

That is a mature HEN. It is terrible that someone has told you that this is a young male. The crusty nut-brown cere is the sign that she is in breeding condition. Perfectly normal in a hen.

Yes, it's a mature hen, their ceres go brown and crusty when in breeding condition..

I have to say, she is very pretty, I have not seen a hen with those colours and markings combined before.

Wow really, so a mature hen, when they told me it was a young boy.. wow couldn't be further apart! I'd be looking for another place to source my birds from, if I were you. It is one thing to say "I don't know the gender of the bird", quite another to lie either from ignorance or purposely. Store employees very rarely have any knowledge on how to determine gender of budgies, unfortunately.
