My 5 were born on April 17th and one was more silver than the rest! We called her henrietta because the rest all looked the same. 9 days later and the rest of them are now all starting to look like henrietta! I wont be able to tell whos who pretty soon. They all change so quick. Owl like faces with skunk backs. Going to be beautiful I hope! Enjoy your peeps.
