Hi Everyone! Our broody mamma who hatched these eggs has officially kicked the new chicks to the curb (so to speak).
I'm curious what genders we have here:
Wheaten Ameraucana #1. Slightly smaller than #2, but otherwise too identical at this point to tell them apart.
I believe this is the BCM (Although it could be the OE?). This one has a tail, and black butt fuzz.
Wheaten Ameraucana #2. By far the most adventurous of the group, but still needs to be coaxed in with treats to get close to me.
I think this is the OE. It's a BC1 I believe. Mother was OE (BCMxWhAM) Father was BCM.
Has some copper on neck, but more blotchy than the first one. This one also is not growing tail feathers like the others and has yellowish butt fuzz
Sorry for my ugly body parts in the pictures. The chicks are still a bit skittish around people (raised 100% free range by mama hen.) but slowly coming around now that they realize I'm the one with treats
