Suspected pullet. Same hatch as 2 suspected cockerels. Silkie x white crested black polish from previous photos. She has no detectable facial development like other two.

New here just hatching today 3 silkie x polish crested crosses and 5 buff Orpington x polish crosses. ( eggs received from a relative)
Hatched ducks before never chicks. Set up a corner of the yard with a coop and pen when they are old enough to go out
Any ideas on what they will look like...
