They can have a variety of coloration!!! You just never know since you don't know what their genetic line is like.

It's been awhile since I kept any babies I've raised. IF my memories serves me right, it starts right around 6 months to get the adult plumage depending on the color variation!

They molt from 6 to 9 months of age, its then when they can be properly sexed I believe, signs are pin feathers and feathers falling out a lot during head-rubs at least.

Depending on their coloration and genetics. You can sex them as early as the day they hatch. My boys started singing process as early as 2 months old.
