Keeping track of peachick growth photos?

[new 2 pfowl]

Hello peapeople,
The recent question about peachicks being m or f reminded me:

Perhaps it's my imagination?
But didn't someone start a thread before that was for everyone to contribute photos documenting chicks as they grow, in order to help ID colors and tell if the chicks are M or F?
I can't seem to find the thread (if it exists).
But now (chick-growing-time) would be a good time to revive the thread and contribute photos, right?
It would be good to have peachick photos all in one place for people with questions about color/sex/age.

*edited to add:
OK, I found one thread about colors:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...s-of-your-chicks-with-their-colors-identified
Perhaps it could be added to?

*edited again!!!:
There is info scattered through the threads, maybe we could make a sticky "growth chart"?

If someone wanted to do this I have pics of India Blues from egg to current (only a few wks). I take them at least once a week. I did forget to weigh and measure them from day one. But can start if people wanted to go through with it.

This maybe a stupid question, but how do you measure a peachick? Is there a standard like there is with horses?

I think that was Randy, FBC, I think he just mentioned in a different thread that he'd like to do that, but didn't have a designated thread for it. I would like to see it followed through, though, too!

Well, I'm sure most of you already know this, but a great resource for ID'ing colors is Leggs photo gallery:

This won't help for those of you with age or sex questions, because it seems that the chick photos are only illustrating color.

Only issue is sexing young peachicks. It would be excellent for pics of both sexes be photo'd,,some colors are sex linked,,which is easy at hatch time,,others takes longer,,I could really get into taking pics of all 4 seperate colors of my black shouldered chicks,,,,Purple,Midnight,Opal and Silver Pieds,,,I'm 99% positive I can sex them at 3-4 weeks,,but then we get into the all blue or all black colored feathers that comes in,,and now I'm completely lost here,,because mine looks so very diffrent,,,I must have a new mutation thriving here??? LOL. If a "Sticky" could be started,then divided up into each color and pattern,,I'm sure it would be easier than searching others websites only to get a few pics.

Just to make this interesting I just took 2 pics of 2 completely diffrent peachciks hatched 4 days agne is 100% India Blue,,,the other chick can be a guessing game.You tell me which 1 of these is the 100% IB chick,,and when I disclose what the second peachick is,and who it's parents really are you may be amazed.Here is the first picture of both taken of their backs.



I did NOT change the placement of the chicks when I took the front pics.In the top pic compared to the bottom two pics I just turned both chicks around and they stayed on the same side of my hand.Now you please guess which one is the IB,and which is the mystery chick.Feel free to make an educated guess what the mystery chick is out of and which one is the IB..

in the last picture. the chick on the left side (towards your palm) is the IB?
but i dont have a guess on the other. im guessing its a rareer color?

 

[autumnmfisher]

i think the IB is the one on the left in the top pict. come on tell us

 

[new 2 pfowl]

Hmmm...I think the guy on the left is IB but the guy on the right looks too light...I'm not even going to guess, sorry!

FBC, that was exactly what I was thinking, a sticky thread for each color/pattern with pictures and as much information about age/sex as possible.
I would be happy to work on something like this if someone tells me how.
Shouldn't the threads be in the sticky index?
Do I need to contact an administrator to do this?

Both have the IB color but one must be split to another color so it can throw that colored if bred to the right hen.
