Knowing my luck it is, but oh well at least I can show off my baby's :D

They were all born on the 17th and 18th, there only a week old.

I have a Buff Orphington, golden laced wyandotte cross: (For the record, show a baby chick a diamond and it will do anything you want it to, including stay still!)

I have a Naked neck:

My little Black Australorp :D

A Rode island red

And then my little Stink eye! The Silkie (Yes I know you cant tell gender on the silkie but the picture was way to cute not to post!)

Is it to early to guess? No. You have a 50/50 chance of being right. Sorry, couldn't resist.
