New Chicks!

[MGG]

Silkie
“Cumulus cloud” Sisters chick. Wondering what color she will be. She’s a little small compared to the others. Looks soulless when there is no shine captured in her eyes. I would call her more white in person.

Splash Silkie.

Silkie
“Starburst” Other sister’s chick. Was wondering if she’s just going to be a plain black silkie.

Black silkie.

Silkie
Possibly looking for name suggestions. Might name Perry after Perry the Platypus. I think she looks like a kookaburra. This one is mine. Also wondering what color she’ll be.

This is an Easter Egger, which you might already know. She should color in really nice.

Do you guys think that one of our buffs is just a buff mix? In the pictures with high exposure it’s the one closest to parchment colored. I just noticed she has feather legs! What mix do you think she is? The feathering stops at the “wrist”. This one is Tango, the other small one is Agave, and the big one is Whiskey.

Where did you get the chicks from?
It's probably just a poor quality Orpington. I've had Orps with lightly feathered legs too. It is pretty common.

Just a not-great quality Orpington then. She should make a great pet and layer though.

I just had to do another photo shoot for bee. She is 4 weeks old and now her head is starting to feather in grey. What color is she?

It’s really cool how she has multiple different kinds of feathers. Like the ones that look peppery, the white ones, the ones that look barred white, and the ones that look like a speckled Sussex’s.

Here’s the group.

This is Perry, she’s five weeks old now. Anyone have a guess as to whether she’s a pulley or cockerel. I know it’s a little early though. She looks silly with the head feathers. Also is she bearded?

I can also tell that Bee (EE) has a pea comb now, so that’s nice.

Not sure of the sex, but...I LOVE her crest!

Thank you! I’ll take pics of the 2 others today, all three have the same amount of poof growth.

Can't wait to see them!

 

[Nero70002]

Wait, just saw that the other 2 actually don’t have as much of a crest. Also I think starburst has a straight comb.

Also are the Buff Orpingtons sexable at this age? I tried to get a pic with their combs and Bee’s comb.
