Thanks! We are also excited to see how she will turn out- her wings are showing some darker stripes, but hoping she stays on the lighter side of coloration

I'm trying so hard to not buy any more chicks but you're making it difficult! Adorable babies there.

Could you start a Thread on the BJG with pics of their Wings spread out?
I wonder if we can sex them at their age now.
There is the Wing trick and I wonder if it is true that you can still do it when they are a bit older.

Yes. I’m not home now, but later can do pics. Interestingly, one chick has more developed wings (just quicker in getting feathers). Also, one appears to betting a comb vs the other, although very small.

Here is the link to new wing (and comb) thread for the BJG: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/wing-comb-development-black-jersey-giants.1225955/

You will see that the wing and comb development is different between both birds, so I suspect I might have one female, one male. Time will tell.
