Hey showgirl experts

so i have dwindled my showgirl chicks from seven to four. In the end i want to only have two showgirls. I have one here who is DEFINITELY a roo so he will go for sure, and one with a broken leg so she (

) will stay. That leaves me with two showgirls that i need to choose between. they are both a mix of buff and grey/lavender? dont know the color is a mess and i think it is absolutely beautiful!

these are FOWLRUS'S chicks

anywho, i was hoping that since you guys were experts you could help me choose the best one between the two and also maybe answer some questions i have about the two of them. They are both around 6-7 weeks of age

here is chick #1. This is the one i really like because of the two weird feathers on its forehead. This one is not as fluffy as the other one, but its pretty close. It is lighter in color as well and has a larger crest. I could not get this one to stand up, so she laid down the whole time.

some head shots- Question about the crest feathers-
see how they are very pin-like near the head? will they stay that way or will they "bloom" so-to-speak? right now they remind me of porcupine quills. the other one has them too, but not as many...

above shot

okay now this is chick # 2. like i said this one is a little bit darker. Larger forehead but smaller little bump on her/his comb area. little fluffier.

LOL its bowtie is ONE FEATHER.

so which one would you guys choose? see any gender makers there? ( i dont. but i REALLY do not want to give two away and then have a roo on my hands

)

I can't tell you which one to pick- but I have a chick the same color from them. What is that called? Or is it a mix? They sure are cute.
