Our second 5-wk-old EE, Dark Owl (no cute names allowed until gender is proven):
In the middle. Don't love the blotchiness of the older wing feather pattern:
Not the best comb shot, but there isn't much of one and it really isn't pink in real life:
A little more encouraged by the nice patterning of these shoulder feathers, but I know that's not a guarantee.
On the left, with the evil twin White Owl. Gotta love the matching pointy tails.
So just like with White Owl, based on thick legs and upright stance I think we're just waiting for combs and suspicious feathers to develop. But I'd LOVE to be wrong.
