Post Your Chocolates, Dun ,Khaki , Platinum Bird Pics

[wolftracks]

Just when I thought I could fall asleep I see this thread again.

Does anyone have pics of chocolate, dun or khaki day olds and what they look like progessively? I have some chicks I can't figure out and my pics are too off since from a phone.

Also had a question about brown being sex linked. Is it? The two chicks in question appear to be pullets. The other two look to be cockerels and one is black and the other blue. Prominant combs one those two and very little comb showing on the other two chicks. All of these chicks are from the same hen.

OK now I can sleep and hope I get answers when I come back. LOL

Hen is a splash EE who was hatched from a very blue egg is that matters. I have one blue OE with feathered shanks. There's a black, white and silver EE, who should have been a cull from a Lav AM breeding. Then I have AM cockerels that are black, blue, and lavender. Also my FBCM. These are the roos that are out there.

I have one chick that looks to be black with feathered shanks. One I'm sure is blue, clean legged and the other two are different shades of brown and clean legged. They look brown, but like a couple of different shades of brown. First two hatched I noticed a lot of comb area showing and the 2 browns I noticed very little showing.

So was wondering if any of those colors combined with my splash girl, could throw chocolate, Dun or Khaki and if they are sex linked would that be an indicator that these chicks are one of those colors. Just haven't thought about the color being one thing or another, just notice the ones I think are pullets are brown and the ones I think are cockerels are not, but actually 2 other colors.

Also I have the one with feathered legs, so the daddy would probably be the blue OE, since he also has feathered shanks and my FBCM is not blue. Gee it took me a couple of hours sleep to just know figure that out.

I'd just like to see other's chicks and compare to figure out if these are indeed one of the three brown ?? colors.

Horrible pics but I have them posted on the California site https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=7967330#p7967330

Pictures of my Platinum cockerel today, about a week and a half shy of being 6 months old. He wasn't being very cooperative on the ground so I had to hold him to get these shots...

He's got nice yellow soles.

dont have any chick pics, will be glad to take some this spring once they start laying again, but most of my dun birds hatch out a smokey greyish color. The khakis are similar but a paler more tan version.

Pictures of my Platinum Sumatra cockerel today, he's almost 7 months old now.

He normally holds his tail a bit lower, he was agitated because I was practically in the pen with him and his girls, sticking a camera in their face.
