Clover's 2024 chicks

[Cloverr39]

This is a thread for my 2024 chicks. Usually, I try to take weekly pictures of each chick to track growth and development, so why not make a thread where I can post them?
As the chicks grow I'll comment on what I think about them, which I may keep, and make guesses on whether they are pullets or cockerels. You are free to write your thoughts on the babies as well.
I mainly breed Silkies but I also have a bantam mix/project pen, if you're wondering what breeds to expect to see here.

Today I took the week 1 photos of the chicks. Let's start with the project babies.

Amelia

Ares
Looks like this one is going to have silkied feathers.

Artemis

Alouette

Aphrodite
Does this one look like a frizzle or is it just feathers curling from growing really fast?

Azaelean/Azaelon

Most of them still have very short wings. I hope that won't mean most will be cockerels.

Here are the paint Silkie babies!

Faun

Hestia

Iris

Morpheus
This one's 5th toes split into 6th toes. Won't be kept as a breeder.

Unnamed for now
(let me know when you decide on a name @Lovely Lettie)

Zeus

Annabeth
Absolutely beautiful but has 6 toes on one foot. Unfortunately won't be kept as a breeder. I'm still interested to see it grow up though.

The blacks

Apollo
This one was such a nightmare to photograph. It did not want to stand still at all.

Calypso

Demeter/Chiron

Dionysus

Hades

Persephone

Scylla
6th toe on left foot has two nails. Likely won't be kept as a breeder.

Thalia
Did not want to face the camera.

That's all for now.
