Welsummer x Delaware sex link chick pics?

All five hatched! The last one is struggling out the shell. So far I have 3 girls and 1 boy. Not sure on the last since it's wet. The three pullets have lighter chipmunk markings than a Welsummer and are golden brown. The male is a much lighter yellow with faint chipmunk markings. I'll get pictures up soon.

I was happy to see how easily they are sexed! Especially since I couldn't find any pics of this cross online.

I hatched 23 chicks, 5 of them are this cross. I've already got so many roosters, need to sell some so I can't keep these baby boys. Anyone who lives nearby is welcome to them. I'd like to see them get good homes.
 
Here are a few more pictures, today at 9-10 days! I have no idea why they were standing at attention in the first picture but it lets you see the difference in the wing feathers. Please ignore the dusty blinds.

Whoa they look so big and healthy!!! I can't believe they came from an incubator!! Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing these little guys grow!!
 
I gave the two roosters away at six weeks and took a few pics of them. I'll upload them soon! And of course I kept the three girls, I'll try to take pics today. They're almost 8 wks old. One is very red, one is half red half partridge and one is mostly partridge like the Welsummers. Interesting outcome. Both boys were almost identical.
