Gender???

Another thing to look for is black feathers in between the rusty orange and barred if it's a male like these two now that they are 2 months. Also White breast feathers not cream. Though I don't know if the breast feathers would be a different color at this age since I have no hens of this age to compare to.

Here is a pic from today of my IB peachick.

And his wing

I'm not really seeing much orange in his wings.

Can you get a picture of the entire bird like this?

I still want to say both are males. The lighter one I see a lot of black beginning to build up on its left shoulder making me think it's a male. In the first photo of the colored chick it looks like a male to me, I see barring on the shoulder black in the middle, the breast feathers are white instead of cream. I see barring and black wing feathers and white breast feathers like my males but I've never seen a neck like your peachick.

This is one of my IB chicks at 10 weeks and you can see that this is a male with the White breast feathers, barring, orange primaries, blue neck.

Here's a picture of one of my IB chick males around 2 months and you can see black, orange primaries, barring, white breast feathers.

I'm pretty sure they are both hens. The chest feathers of the IB chick already show that "fish scale" look that hens get, and the wing feathers of the BS chick are def. female looking.

Thanks for taking a look at them. Yeah the dark chick has a green neck. But now I do see some black feathers in the wings. His orange isn't as bright as your chicks.

Here is a pic of him stretching lol.

So birdrain your 10 week old male in the first picture has that fish scale look to his neck. Mine is getting that look too. So males and female both will have the scale look, but males will have blue too? And the light chick definitely has orange primary feathers. The orange is only in males then?

I will post some pics of their wings up close. How about there tails? Can you guys tell anything from those?
