Bantam chick genetic parentage and sex

[Chicalina]

I've gone back and looked at the egg shells. Both Pidgin and Wyatt hatched from pink eggs, and Tutu from a white definitely polish egg. Not sure about Purdy.

So I am assuming your wyandotte lays the pinkish eggs? That would make sense then!

I can't wait to see them when they are all older!

I think both the wyandotte and the cochin lay pink eggs. The polish lay white.

Me too, but equally I don't want them to grow up and stop being so darn cute!!!

Anyone have any ideas on Purdy?

Wyatt's feet are pretty big, maybe that is a sign of a rooster? Otherwise, I can't tell.

I'm oscillating with Wyatt. I've always thought he was a he, but his comb is smaller than Purdy's, though both are wide and dark pink.

I think Tutu is a girl. And very sad that Pidgin is likely a boy. He just got some red wing feathers coming in, like his dad. Along with a few odd black feathers, so I I guess he is a blue or splash paint with red leakage? Is that a thing?

I took some pics of him yesterday. Will take some more of the others later, but its pouring down here!
