Hello!
I have 15 baby chicks to sex but starting with these two! Pics 1 and 2 are the same chick and 3 and 4 are the same chick! I have my theories but interested to see what others think! They are 6 weeks old! Also, what breed would you say they were?

Hello. I am only a second time hatcher and the first time didn’t have the best success rate so I am after some advice!
