New colour to my collection

Egyptian fee? Is she a wild type/pharaoh with light reddish brown coloration? I’d love to say female but not sure if those are baby spots, my first hatch was all female at 3 weeks and strangely mutated to males a week later, ooops!

I sent the pic to Michael Rhodes southwest gamebirds he knows more on the genetics

Those two are pearl, I was really struggling with this batch, ordered 24 eggs, ended with 24 chicks (got 36 eggs), quickly out grew my plastic tote and moved them into this little rabbit hutch which they also outgrew quickly and had to hurry up and get my adult pens finished. There is such a thing as too good a hatch rate!
