Hi! Do you have pictures of your babies? I have 3 GSL's that looked the same when they were a week old, and now at four weeks all look very different! I have no idea how to sex them, sorry. Here's my girls at 1 week:

The white and dark one are bantams. The others are, clockwise starting with the one under the dark bantam: goldilocks, belle and ariel.

Here they are at four weeks (taken yesterday):

This is goldilocks

This is belle:

And this is ariel:

I'm glad they aren't all the same color, I would never be able to tell them apart!

3 GSL pullets - Ariel, Belle and Goldilocks, one lemon cuckoo orpington roo - Mr. Big, 1 loveable kitty and one fabulous DH - all spoiled!!!

My Silver Lace Wyandotte are different in shades of gray and black, is this an indication of adult color patern?

Aggghhhhh! I want a rooster! :/ 

I have 2 cats, 1 Golden Retriever, 2 gold fish, and now 13 chickens. :)

Tough Cookie (T.C.) Cleo, at 6 weeks old, died in April 2012. Kanaliha Cleo, at 9 weeks old, died on May 14, 2013. They are greatly missed.

I have a 4 season tent, all the equipment, when do we go. Need someone to feed the chickens and water the garden. Puts a cramp in the camp.

You have me bet, I have 1 Shiz Tuz, 6 chickens right now.
When I moved to Az I had 2 Great Danes, 2 cats, 1 canary, 1 lizard, 1 snake. I enjoy having and caring for life. Retired, my garden project and my chickens have brought joy and meaning to my life.
In 2010-2011 I spent 4 continuous months living in a tent camping and fishing, then 6 months on a sailboat. Hard to have chickens on a 25' sailboat.
