Well, I'm no expert, but I would think that one is the same as my first one was, a double factor blue face. Mine was a very dark brown with a white bib. He turned out to be a blue face male. It's impossible to tell at this age if it is a male or female. The one with the racing stripes is probably a normal wild color, the really yellow is probably a white (provided it has no other color on it). I thought I had a white with my last ones, but it had a very faint grey tint to its color.

Very pretty babies! How long since the last one hatched? Mrs. AK told me to wait 3 days after the last one hatched to open/toss the rest.

The last one hatched this AM. I had to do some creative thinking to keep the buttons in the hatcher, get it cleaned and get my chicken eggs in there, but this is the result

This way I was able to get the hatcher cleaned (I had that dish floating in warm water... in a warm cast iron pan) and the buttons can still have a chance to hatch w/out compromising the chicks that are due. If any buttons hatch, everything would be contained in the tupperware.

for a few more babies! 7 out of 26 isn't so hot...

I kind of figured it'd be too young to sex them, but was wondering about that white ring.... these little ones are just too cute!

Yeah, my blue faced baby had that white bib from day 1. Monarc said it was because he was double factor. Let me find the pic.

ETA: Ok. I lied. The only baby pic I found you can't really see the bib, but I promise you mine had it too, and he was a very dark chocolate brown.
