Hello! So my silkie has been sitting on eggs that are not hers. Two of them are Oliver Egger x Black Andalusian cross and one is a Welsummer x Black Andalusian cross. The Welsummer chick hatched yesterday and the other two (OE) hatched today. I noticed that the two of them have little orange/red-ish spots on the top of their heads. Does this mean anything (I know sometimes you can gender at hatch by the color of certain breeds of chicks)? I only ask because it is in roughly the same spot on both. It's very cute and I hope that the feathers grow in that color. Maybe a stupid question but I figured I would ask.
^ You can see the spot on the head of the two in the front here
And here are pictures where you can see the spot pretty clearly.
