They still both look like girls to me. Have you looked at the chicks on feathersite? Here is the link, the chicks are at the bottom of the page. There are some really good wing pictures on there.

TexasLea, thank you for the link. madi99, I love your profile pic!!!

I don't know why they are dilly dallying with growing up. They are from a farm a few miles from me. TexasLea thought maybe since they aren't from a hatchery they may grow/feather differently?

With my favorelles, they looked the same until their back feathers came in. The the roo had clear black feathering.

Well at five weeks their little black feathers started coming in everywhere....sigh. So off they went with a girl up the road to show in 4-H. Cock-a-doodle-doo.
