English Isabel Cuckoo Orpington sexes

[flgardengirl]

I hatched a couple of Isabel Cuckoo Chicks. I know with regular cuckoos the bigger head spots can indicate males and the darker chicks female. I dont know how to tell with the Isabel Cuckoos. One is obviously a lot lighter and one has a little partridge markings along with the lavender yellowish tinged fluff lol. I searched for Isabel Cuckoo Orp chick images and found pics similar to both of these little guys but didnt say male or female.. Sorry they are a little messy, they kept playing in their water today lol
Any Guesses?

The darker one is a female.

Cyprus I love you for saying that lol..does that mean the lighter one is a male and I have a pair?

ChickNanny, Thank you! I am in love with them. They are so laid back and snuggly.

Orpingtons are my favorite breed ... Someday I'm getting Lavenders

Chick Nanny Yes you definitely should get some Lavender Orps! The Lavenders are so pretty. I used to have a bunch and really missed having them. So... I recently hatched out some more plus one that is black Split to Lavender chick. They are the same age as these chicks but eggs from a different breeder.
