Continuing on from this thread, wherein we were playing "guess the gender":

The chickens in question are now 12 weeks old. Both are EEs, although Lucinda is looking very RIR.
Lucinda on the left, Frankie (Francesca, formerly Eliza in the other thread) on the right:
Now Frankie on the left and Lucinda on the right:
Frankie on her own:
The black on Frankie's feathers makes her neck feathers look pointed, but they are actually quite round. There is a lot of black in her tail, but none of it is iridescent in any way.
Lucinda has a single comb, pink at the base and yellow on the tips, Frankie has a rather flat pea comb which is pinkish but nowhere near the red of my little Barred Rock's comb.
My two little Welsummers (9 weeks) are absolutely easy to tell apart - not even the faintest question of which is the rooster. I'll post pics of those two later.
