We have three, darling, week and a half old chicks. Not sure about the breeds and genders...could you give us your ideas? Thanks!

Here is Chick #1. Her name is Good Queen Bess, not sure what we'll do if she is a rooster ;) One thing we noticed that sets her apart from our other little yellow one (at the bottom of the page) is that her wings are larger, reaching all the way to the back of her body, while the other one had smaller wings that only went half way down her body. This was more noticeable when she was younger. She also has that funny tuft of feathers on her tail. Any thoughts?









This chick is the smallest of our babies. We are pretty sure she is a Rhode Island Red because of the patterns on her wings. Here's a few of chick #2.



This picture below is probably useless, but we think she's (he's?) cute :)


Chick #3 is the largest chick. Her wings however are smaller in proportion to her body. She (he?) has a lot of spunk and is definitely the ring leader :) For some reason my photos wouldn't upload (ugh!) so we only have one, of her wing.




Alright, thanks! Can't wait to hear all your expert opinions ;) ;) If you think more photos from a different angles, etc. would be helpful, please say so! We love our chickies :) Here's a little photo of them with their mama. *Adoptive* mama, she hatched the eggs but the eggs weren't laid by her ;) She's a year old, R.I.R. Her name is Queen Victoria and she's the boss around here ;)
 
its very hard too tell at this sort of age, because most birds first feathers are pretty much nothing like there grown up coat but they are cute :)
