I'm not sure on their gender, but they are cute! If you tried again in a few weeks or so, we might be able to tell better.

Its really hard to tell at this age normally you look at the the first few days by wing checking and a bit later when there a couple months old try putting some more pics on in about a month then we should be able to show tell you better Emily

It's a bit early to be sure, but judging by the light coloration, and the white head spot, you'll hear two little crows eventually

It looks to me like the lighter one is a cockerel, while the darker one is pullet, but I could very well be wrong.

Out of curiosity (I just got a very newly hatched Scot’s grey today) do you have any photos of them both at say day olds?? I’ve read that the boys have large spots on there heads and the girls have small to no spots on their heads hence that’s what makes them sex linked ?
I’m just wondering what constitutes as a large spot compared to a small spot??
