Birds Not of a Feather

Now that chickadees have figured out how to drink out of my hummingbird feeder, I'm going through a lot more sugar water. Any hopes that they would start drinking out of the bird bath have gone. The only explanation is that they can actually taste sugar. It isn't that surprising, but it is unexpected.
We've only seen two hummingbirds so far. I can't tell by the color what kind they are. My best guess is that one is only a year old and hasn't got adult plumage yet, and that the other one is a female Rufus hummingbird. I know that Anna's hummingbird and Calliope are supposed to hang around this area,so I hope I get more than one species this year. Trouble is that Rufus are so aggressive that I don't know if they will share- no matter how many feeders I put out.
Last year I saw about a dozen females at the feeder at once. A quick witted male, which was an unbelievably beautiful shiny copper color in the sun, flew in for a quick sip once in a while, but the females would spend enormous energy chasing him away. All spring I watched the orange flash and blur as he circled the house and the neighborhood waiting for a chance at an empty feeder. By July he was gone along with all but two females that fought and flitted around the rest of the summer.
I keep three hummingbird feeders out all summer, but this year I'm trying to find a feeder to lure the chickadees away. Or would that just encourage hornets?
