Okay so I have a question... Why does it seem like everyone else's birds are bigger than mine? I've seen pics of a 2 week old that looks huge compared to my 3 week old.

You can't really tell the size of a bird from a picture. Maybe it's just the angle?

No, she did not...  I just asked for an opinion on if it was a boy or girl.  Good question though...wish I'd have thought of it!  LOL

Here are pictures of a d'Uccle chick that I hatched out. Its parents are a white roo and a black hen(I have two black hens so either one are its parents). I have 16 more of their eggs in the incubator and 9 under two broody hens, I can't wait to see what colors hatch out(all of the eggs are developing by the way). This one's feathers are coming in very beautifully. I'm hoping for a girl.
