Ok, I thought I had a sure answer last week on the gender of my 2 salmon favs...til I realized the "pullet" and "roo" in the pics were actually just 1 chick. Oops! So I retook pics(3 weeks old now) and yes, they're from a hatchery. I had 2 f and 2 m at start but lost 2(1 of which had the black feathers starting to come in, but these have them too, that's why I'm stumped)They both have rust colored feathers coming in on back/shoulder,and light tan coming in on under belly. What have I got? Bad colored pullets, 1 of each, light roos, normal roos?My curiosity is killing me!Thanks so much!!!



chick 1

and chick 2
 
they look like they are females to me, the pictures are a little fuzzy, but i am thinking female. if they were males, their would be very black fethers, mine did, these fethers dont look very black at all. the black spots are ok, mine have them on the wings in some ares, sometimes stray spots on their chests too, your will also mold and get slightly changed colors too.
 
Thanks for the input! I'm going to give em a few more days then I'll post updated pics. Maybe they'll get more obvious :)
