Not sure what our new chicks will look like.

Update:

Chick #3 (Izzy) arrived today. it looks a lot like #2, but instead of a black spot on it's back - it has what looks like an orange spot on it's head.

Positively weird... and nothing like what I would have predicted. I'm very intrigued to see how these grow out.

Here's an update, the chicks are about 3-3.5 weeks old.

Snowflake

Stormy

Izzy

I know it's too early to tell for sure, but I'm thinking that the first 2 (Snowflake and Stormy) are probably boys. They seem to have really red combs for being so young. I have no idea about Izzy since I'm not familiar with rose combs.

The first two are cockerels. The last one look pullet-ish, so far.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking as well. I'll post some more pics in a few weeks.

Here they are at about 6 weeks. I'm still pretty sure that the two single combs are roos, but not sure about the other. I'm leaning towards roo on that on as well. Thoughts?
The darker one is starting to get some red on it's chest, wings, and neck. There's a little red on the other single comb as well.

Very neat and thank you for the updates. I do have to say, all three of those little cuties do look like cockerels.

Agree, they all look like cockerels.

The rosecomb looks like a hen but I could be wrong
