lol...Oh I know! They run like crazy as soon as they see the camera! That's why I put them in an empty cage so I could sorta just aim the camera into the cage. It only half worked.

I feather sexed them at day 1 and speedy was the only girl.
According to the list of 4-6 week old characteristics...speedy was still a girl.
She looks like a boy to me too! lol

All 3 look to be mixed..
The Gold laced one look like it may have Wyandotte in it but it's not a pure Wyandotte because it has a Single Comb and a Wyandotte would have a Rose Comb..
