Thank you! I still can't work those genetics calculators!

So hopefully we will be able to tell its sex pretty soon!

Right now its looking alot like the second chick that hatched. I'm going to have to pull it and band it. :/

Left is the cross, right is full SDW. The cross is a little larger, but they look alot alike at this point.

Would love to see pics when they get dry and fluffed.

I tried to get pictures of my two girls but between lighting and my phone camera acting up they aren't that good.

I need to come up with names for those two, since they are definite keepers.

What I hatched this week. 2 pairs of Creles, a Lemon Black and a Golden Sebrights.

Golden Sebrights aren't my favorites. There are prettier varieties, I think. But these were my Dad's birds, he loved them and he left me some decent stock.

Oh I will definitely post pics. Right now it looks a little more goldish tint, and a bit less prominent V on the head. I am delaying opening the incubator, waiting to see if one Serama is going to need assistance. It has a big hole wallowed out, but doesn't seem to be zipping yet.

Such a pretty face on that first one! And her dark legs are neat! She needs a dainty name. My brassy girl is Cleopatra because she looks so regal sitting on her branch perch.

I just can't believe how fast they grow in 4 weeks! Still thinking SDW on two, and fingers crossed for pullets.

remember this silvery cutie?

Hooray!! Scratching my head with that light chick too, guess time and more research will tell. I love how much there is to learn about these birds! So many colors and varieties, its fascinating!
