Tried this last week, and the kids are bigger now - maybe someone has a better guess at this point?

 

The one on the left is Henry/Henrietta and the one on the right is Fran/Frankie:

Combs look more red in photo than in reality - I wonder if it was the flash:

Any guesses are appreciated!  Rationale would be helpful also.

Not enough feathers yet. Give us a couple more weeks when they get their neck feathers in. thumbsup.gif

I am sooo happy they are looking pullet-ish!  Being straight run, I was worried they would both end up roos and I'd have to chose to get rid of one, and they are both such sweeties!
