Just for kicks, and to learn more, I'm curious as to what you think of gender of these SLWs. I'm not expecting an instant identification, and know they're usually just a wait and see kind of deal!
They are about a week old now, and have grown alot! I can try to get better pics once my camera battery charges. There's so much info out there. Plus, these guys change so much day to day..
Also, I know Buffs are pretty much a wait and see from what I've been reading. But are there any features you can kind of watch to make guesses ahead of time for fun? A few of them are already growing tail feathers, and the wing feathers they have in already is amazing! They are more grown out than our SLWs!
(I think I matched up the pictures correctly...The 3 large ones have such similar markings, it's hard to tell them apart when I'm done with the photos!)
Large chick #1
Large chick #2
Large chick #3
Med chick
Small chick #1
Small chick #2
(?unsure if same chick)
