[hcammack]

Here is took some pictures of the flock coop and the chicks. Any guesses on the gender or color of the chicks I will tell you my guess on color at the top. These chicks are blue and black copper marans from peachick. They are from Will Marrow's stock and Wade Jeane lines.

chick 1 dark blue?

Chick 2 light blue ?

Chick 3 Black?

Chick 4 Black or dark blue?

Chick 5 Light blue?

Chick 5 again

Chick 6 Black ?

The brooder

The flock

My yard

Thanks for looking,
Henry

It looks like you have the colors correct. Number 4 looks like it might be dark blue

thanks I think that would leave me with 4 or 5 blues ! most of these are from a splash rooster over black hens and a few are from the splash rooster and a blue hen.

Thanks ! I love them they had their first day outside in the chickens tractor yesterday because it was so nice now its a bit chilly again and they are back in the brooder in the shed.

Do you think chick 5 is a girl because she is feathering faster or a boy because he has that little tail?
