i have been over and over old threads trying to figure out the sex of my chicks. and just cant figure it out.
being split to white throws me off

piper (3 weeks old)




poppy (2 weeks old)




with the color difference i think i have a pair?
but i keep second guessing myself because of pipers personality .
 
There's not really a good way to tell until they are older, which is probably why you can't figure it out

When they get to be about 3 months, you can see the barring fade on the females and the barring increase on the males. Before then, if you need to know, DNA sexing is pretty much it for colors that don't carry on the gender chromosomes.

There've been plenty of theories, and you can tell from day one on the sex-linked colors like purple, but for the blues it's blood or feather sexing until around 2-3 months.

i love taking pictures. altho piper is the easiest since apparently hes part parrot.
but piper is very in your face and curious. the first one to attack treats.
poppy kinda follows his lead.
