Took some quick phone pics of my SF chicks who are 2 weeks old today! I've had guesses on them since they were a few days old going only on wing color and behavior, but I'd like more experienced eyes to help me determine please.
I'm guessing I have 1 roo and 2 pullets. I didn't get photos of their backs, but on the girls I'm seeing a few salmon feathers coming in on top. Also, they are the only ones with tail feathers this far. The "roo" seems a little more adventurous, always seeking the highest spot in the brooder before everyone else and generally making his presence more known than the other two who are a bit more demure in demeanor. I realize that's no real true indicator, but I do watch a lot of chick TV and find it a lot of fun to distinguish personalities.
However, this is my first time hatching ever, and these are my first chicks. I have 3 others in the brooder but these are the only SF. And it appears my "very special breeder" surmised I was speaking about her! I am so in love with these babies, I wish I could keep them all, but due to city codes and coop size will probably only keep one pullet.
First 4 pics - is this looking like a roo?
Next two are Chick "A" She chose to ride in my daughter's hand, rather than stand on her own. Note the little tail.
Chick "B" I'm thinking pullet. I could only get one halfway decent photo as she was a bit camera shy this morning. Love her fluffy cheeks and tail!
